the danger situation

The roadway was covered over a distance of about one kilometer with soil and clay, which was a significant source of danger for flowing traffic. Such impurities can lead to slippery conditions, which increases the likelihood of accidents. The authorities had to act quickly to minimize the risk of road users.

cooperation between the police and fire brigade

Together with the police, the affected area, including the adjacent curves and intersections, was cordoned off. This is an important measure that ensures that road users do not endanger themselves unnecessarily. A commissioned contractor came to the offensive with a wheel loader and a sweeping brush and cleaned the road.

detailed aftercare by the fire brigade

After the first rough cleaning, the fire brigade took over the post -processing by cleaning the curve areas with water. This additional measure also improves security by ensuring that all residues are thoroughly removed.

Restoration of traffic safety

After about two hours of hard work, the blocking could finally be lifted. The police released the road again for traffic, which is not only a relief for road users, but also for residents who rely on a safe and accessible traffic route.

At a time when traffic accidents increase through different influencing factors, attention to such sources of danger is of crucial importance.
