Bus bay in Marktleuthen disappeared: What's behind it?
In Marktleuthen, a small town in Bavaria, there was recently a significant change in public transport. The bus bay in the direction of Röslau has been removed, so that the buses now have to stop at a crossing aid on the opposite side of the street. According to a report by Frankenpost This decision was discussed during a city council meeting in which both supporters and critics had their say.
Birgit Kassing from the shared apartment group in particular asked about the reasons for the elimination of the parking bay. While the building authority supported the change, some city council members expressed doubts about the farsightedness of this measure. This discussion is in the context of a large number of construction sites that are currently causing great uncertainty in the city.
Traffic restrictions due to construction work
In addition to the bus restrictions, local road users also have to expect significant restrictions that are due to structural measures. Loud news.de The maintenance work, renovations and expansion projects will last until December 31, 2025. This particularly affects the St2177 road and adjacent streets.
The work means that there may regularly be gridlocked traffic and temporary traffic jams. In order to minimize disruption, it is recommended to observe the traffic control systems and adjust the speed if necessary. The detailed closures are as follows:
Blocking | Location | length | detour |
---|---|---|---|
1 | St2177 between Wunsiedel and Hof | 200 m | St 2179 – Dieselstrasse – Bahnhofstrasse – Brückenstrasse – St 2176 – St 2180 – Bernstein – Rosenhof – Röslau – St 2177 |
2 | St2177 between Habnith and roundabout St2179, Hofer Straße | 869 m | as above |
3 | St2177 from Hof to Wunsiedel | 200 m | as above |
4 | St2177 near Überbruck in the direction of Wunsiedel | 869 m | as above |
Accessibility in focus
Another aspect that should not be ignored is accessibility in the street space. This is seen as the central goal of transport planning. A look at the training topics of the VHW shows that the legal and technical basis for the barrier-free design of streets and traffic areas is being discussed.
However, it remains a challenge to effectively put the theoretical guidelines into practice. The aim is to improve mobility for all people, especially those with visual impairments.
Overall, Marktleuthen is facing a phase of redesign and adaptation. With the current changes in transport and infrastructural renewal, starting an intensive discussion about the best solutions is essential.
