Traffic chaos in Erfurt: 16 drivers ignore entry ban!

In an impressive reach, the police in Erfurt targeted 16 road users on Alfred-Hess-Strasse. Despite a clear entry ban for all vehicles - except residents - the drivers ignored the applicable regulations. This measure was taken because the road is completely blocked due to repair work on a water pipe that was damaged in winter.

Already at Gothaer Platz signs a comprehensive diversion, but many drivers could be led into the forbidden zone by their navigation devices. The officials did not accept excuses such as a lack of display of the blocking by a large internet provider. The police made it clear that their software explicitly indicated compliance with local traffic regulations at the beginning of navigation.
