Dangerous abbreviation: cyclists and pedestrians in the Deggendorf tunnel!

Deggendorf, Deutschland - The tunnel in Deggendorf is used by many cyclists and pedestrians as a practical abbreviation. But that harbors great dangers for users and other road users. According to a report by Regio -aktuell24 , the state building authority Passau enables the drivers of two-wheeled vehicles and pedestrians to adhere to alternative routes. The B 11, which crosses the tunnel, is shown as a motor vehicle, which means that only vehicles are approved there at a minimum speed of 60 km/h. As a result, use by cyclists and pedestrians is strictly prohibited according to the road traffic regulations.

The building authority demands respect for the applicable regulations to increase the safety of all road users. Recommended alternative routes for cyclists lead via Graflinger Straße or Konrad-Adenauer-Straße, while pedestrians should use the city park. These measures are necessary to minimize the risk of accidents in the tunnel.
