Road safety in Münsing: Bürgerlist demands 30 and zebra crossing speed

Road safety in Münsing: Bürgerlist demands 30 and zebra crossing speed

In Münsing, traffic will probably be one of the main topics after the summer break. Both the Greens and the citizens list put the safety of pedestrians and cyclists in the foreground of their political agenda. The way to school on the main street, which the Limm family happens at the former Gasthaus Neuwirt, is urgently should be designed more safely. The focus is also on the Seestrasse, which runs on the east bank of Lake Starnberg

The Münsinger Greens have already organized a discussion event on the topic. On September 10, Markus Büchler, the spokesman for the Greens faction in the Bavarian state parliament for mobility, will speak in the old school building in Holzhausen. He receives support from Bernadette Felsch, the chairman of the General German Bicycle Club (ADFC) in Bavaria. Various aspects of traffic safety are to be discussed here to find solutions.

claims for a Tempo 30 zone

A central concern of the citizen list is the introduction of a Tempo 30 zone on the main street. This proposal was submitted by Münsingen parents in 2018, but the authorities responsible for it were not unpelled. At the time, there was no legal basis for such measures on this state road. Now the citizen list takes up this claim again. She strives for a maximum of 30 km/h for cars between Bachstrasse and the primary school. So far, this has only been valid during school.

In addition, the citizen list calls for the attachment of zebra crossing at the level of Bachstrasse and the pharmacy to make the crossing of the road safer. The new road traffic regulations enable the municipalities to make traffic regulations such as Tempo 30 speed limits and zebra crossing more effective. The citizen list emphasizes that the increasing residential development and development in the Münsingen East and Degerndorf not only increased traffic, but also grows the danger to the citizens.

security problem on Seestrasse

The situation on Seestrasse also causes discussions. A speed limit should also be introduced to 30 km/h here in order to avoid dangerous traffic situations between cars and cyclists. The citizen list has also proposed to install speed measuring devices with the support of donations to improve the monitoring of traffic.

However, Mayor Michael Grasl (Free Voters) emphasizes that the need for coordination is due for such regulatory concerns. Since the main street is a state road and Seestrasse a district road, the municipality cannot decide independently on Tempo 30 rules or zebra strips. In particular, the attachment of zebra crossings is now controversial in specialist circles. He also mentions that they could only offer "sham security" for the school beginners.

According to the mayor, the traffic conditions on Seestrasse do not leave much space for quick driving, even without corresponding signage. The many pedestrians, cyclists and other road users make it clear that increased mindfulness is required. The municipality has already taken steps to improve traffic safety by widening the sidewalk on the main street towards school and designing barrier -free.

The treatment of the application of the citizens' list will still take some time, since the responsible specialist agencies are sometimes unavailable during the holiday season. Despite the challenges, the citizens' lists and other initiatives in Münsing have firmly focused on traffic safety and mobility, which indicates increasing interest in the population in safer traffic conditions.
