A rapid legal dispute over traffic policy in Berlin picks up speed! In the Waldsee district, a bitter conflict is raging over the blocking of two road sections on the city limits for car traffic. The citizens' initiative for more traffic calming celebrates a stage victory before the administrative court. According to the Berliner Zeitung on May 31, 2024, submitted their complaint by parts of the Schildowower and To devote Elsestrasse into a foot and bicycle area. The court decided that the applications for the career of residents who feel disadvantaged by the planned measure were rejected. A decision that strengthens the public interest in traffic calming and at the same time does not endanger the rights of the plaintiffs.

A crucial point in this procedure is that the mayor of Glienicke/Nordbahn was approved as a part of the procedure, while the four residents at the city limits were not taken into account in their claims. The administrative court found that there is no entitlement to an unlimited passage for motor vehicles. Michael Ortmann, spokesman for the citizens' initiative, described the court decision as an "important stage victory". The mayor of Glienicke, Hans-Günther Oberlack,, on the other hand, rejects the closure because it could endanger fire and emergency channels.

But that's not all! There are also sharp clashes about traffic blocking in Pankow. The administrative court decided that the blocking of the street in the Nesselweg is not lawful, such as rbbb24 reported. A resident had made an urgent application to point out the lack of danger situation. The court decided that streets can only be blocked by Poller for car traffic at special dangers, which in question arises as the design of the neighborhood blocks.

The initiators of the Kiezblock project do not see this decision as a set of youth, but emphasize that the nessel path is a "individual action" that does not affect the entire initiative. The plan to create 180 neighborhood blocks in Berlin is still supported by the authorities to reduce through traffic and improve city life.
