Administrative court decides: Lake Constance signs for 30 km/h must go away
Court decides on speed limits with consequences for the community
A recent judgment of the Freiburg Administrative Court could have far -reaching effects on the residents of the Höri peninsula in the Lake Constance district. The decision to remove self -designed signs with a voluntary speed limit of 30 km/h not only affects the affected property owners, but also raises basic questions about traffic safety in the region.
Background of the decision
The controversial signs were part of a local initiative that was launched by the Greens Association in 2021. This initiative should help make traffic safer, reduce the noise and promote climate protection. The signs, which included words such as "voluntarily" and imitated the design of the official speed limit, led to a legal dispute after the Lake Constance district regional office ordered their removal. The residents, supported by the German Environmental Aid (DUH), turned against this decision and hoped for a pioneering legal clarification through citizen lawsuits.
reactions of the residents
The affected residents see the removal of the signs a restriction of their efforts to be a safer and more livable environment. "We just wanted to point out the dangers that arise from the traffic in our community," said a affected resident. Many citizens say that the official speed limit of 50 km/h is not sufficient to ensure the security, especially of children playing. The idea of a voluntary limits characterizes awareness of the dangers in road traffic.
Consequences and future steps
The judgment is not yet final. Citizens have the opportunity to appeal to the Baden-Württemberg Administrative Court within two weeks. This deadline gives residents the chance to continue to fight for their vision of a safer street. "We have to stick together now and possibly even think about new approaches," adds another resident.
meaning of the decision
The topic of traffic safety and speed limits is not just a local, but a socially relevant topic. The decision of the administrative court illustrates how private initiatives can encounter bureaucratic and legal hurdles. The discussion about voluntary speed limits could also be taken up in other municipalities, which could lead to a national trend towards more citizen participation and safety in road traffic.
