Construction site over, speed limit remains: signs on B29 still there!
On Monday morning, November 3rd, 2025, a sign on the B29 near Urbach caused confusion among drivers. It pointed to a construction site, which is no longer there. The construction phase was completed on October 27th and the work was relocated to the Ostalbkreis. But the speed limits of 80 km/h and in some cases 60 km/h are still visible and cause unwanted delays in traffic, like ZVW reported.
Some motorists who passed by the spot this Monday noticed the strange situation. “It can’t be that these signs are still standing here after the construction site,” said an annoyed commuter. Such warning signals are not only irritating, but also dangerous, as they may make speed adjustment unnecessarily difficult.
Problems with construction site signs
The problems with the signs are not new. Such signals often remain standing long after construction sites have been completed, leading to uncertainty and frustration among road users. Both residents and commuters are wondering: Who will take care of taking down these signs? After all, a false sense of security could also arise while traffic continues to flow at questionable speed limits.
A traffic planner said disposing of construction signs after work is completed is essential to provide clarity on the roads. “This simply needs to be improved more quickly,” he emphasized. The traffic authorities are now asked to check the situation and remove the unnecessary signs as soon as possible before dangerous situations arise.
In summary, the signs are still in place a week after the end of the construction site. Not only could this cause confusion, but it could also cause unnecessary traffic disruption. So anyone who is still traveling on the B29 should pay particular attention to the speed limits - even if the construction site is long behind us.
