Transport calming in Probstheida: Changes cause confusion!

The city of Leipzig has been causing excitement since October 16: Augustinerstrasse in Probstheida is now closed! This measure is followed by the long -term claims of the Southeast local group and residents who demanded a reduction in through traffic. The blocking is severely restricted by road traffic in the residential area in order to calm the tense flow of traffic. But the city's information policy leaves something to be desired: Many road users are not sufficiently informed about the new regulation and are irritated.

The first reactions are mixed: While some residents are enthusiastic about a noticeable traffic reduction, the BUND Leipzig expresses sharp criticism. The provisional signage was confusing and not helpful, which led to massive irritation, especially on Monday after the holidays. Drivers missed crucial information on the new traffic routing and forced to turn around on site. According to the federal government, the traffic counts were carried out on an unfavorable day, which falsifies the actual effect of the measures. "Negative reactions and a lack of insight were foreseeable," said Martin Hilbrecht, chairman of the federal government. The discussion about a change in mobility in Leipzig Südost is in full swing.
