Traffic chaos in Salzgitter: Parents protest against parent taxis!
The traffic situation in Salzgitter is now causing a lot of dissatisfaction among the residents who live there, especially near schools. Many parents bring their children to school by car every day, which leads to dramatic traffic conditions in the affected areas. The area around Pestalozzistrasse and Fröbelstrasse, where resident Jadwiga Dubies has lived for 28 years and expressed her displeasure in a passionate appeal to the city administration, is particularly badly affected. She describes the situation as catastrophic and emphasizes that the so-called “parent taxis” contribute significantly to worsening the traffic problems.
Hundreds of primary school and integrated comprehensive school (IGS) students in particular are brought to and picked up from school in cars on weekdays. The parking behavior of many parents further exacerbates the situation: people park on both sides of Pestalozzistrasse, which makes it significantly more difficult for other vehicles to pass through. In addition, there are construction sites and the adjacent kindergarten on Drosselstieg, which further inflame the situation. Dubies expresses concerns about the safety of pedestrians and cyclists and, in a letter to the city, suggests introducing a one-way street to ease traffic. However, the city of Salzgitter sees no need for action and rejects the proposal.
