Lifting of the right-turn ban: Wiesbaden breathes a sigh of relief!
FWG/Pro Auto calls for the ban on right turns in Wiesbaden to be permanently lifted: advantages for drivers and residents.
Lifting of the right-turn ban: Wiesbaden breathes a sigh of relief!
The traffic situation at the Landeshaus in Wiesbaden is currently causing a stir. After the long-standing right-turn ban in the direction of Biebrich was recently lifted, there is a lot of positive feedback from drivers. The FWG/Pro Auto faction welcomed the decision and is now calling for this regulation to be retained permanently. This initiative became necessary after right turns were blocked for over five years, which caused frustration for many drivers, who sometimes had to take considerable detours as a result.
Christian Hill, transport policy spokesman for FWG/Pro Auto, leaves no doubt that this closure has been a “constant bone of contention” in the city. “The repeal is a step in the right direction,” Hill said. He highlights the advantages resulting from the new regulation: drivers save time, there are fewer pollutant emissions, and residents in the Poets' Quarter benefit from relief. In particular, the city of Wiesbaden's quick reaction to a recent burst water pipe on Gustav-Stresemann-Ring has meant that turning right is possible again.
Demand for permanent right turns
The FWG/Pro Auto has now expressed its clear wish that this regulation will be maintained even after the burst water pipe has been eliminated. An appeal to City Councilor Kowol emphasizes how important it is to contribute to the pacification of urban society. In the long term, restoring sensible traffic routing could not only benefit drivers, but the entire population.
The solution to the problem shows that quick action in politics is certainly possible if the pressure from citizens is great enough. It therefore remains to be seen how quickly the city council will respond to these demands and whether turning right at the State House will actually remain permitted permanently.
The discussion about transport policy will continue to be exciting in Wiesbaden. Citizens are invited to express their opinions and actively participate in events. Because as you can see: if the public's voice is loud enough, a lot can happen.
