Wrong figures for traffic safety discussion: Dispute in Offenbach escalated!

Bieber, Deutschland - In Offenbach, a hot-conducted dispute over the security of S-Bahn underpasses causes a stir. An application from the free voters to build altitude limitation blocks in the problematic places "Bieberer Schlupf" and Dietesheimer Straße was recently rejected with a large majority. During the debating city council, the Green Sybille Schumann said that there had been no detectable cases of trucks that have been stuck since 2018. However, this statement turned out to be wrong.

A demand from the police showed that there have actually been between three and five such accidents per year in recent years. The Greens admits that they have believed in misinformation and reported a total of 13 incidents since 2018. This misleading has sparked the discussion and could influence future decisions on security measures. Annoyed voices from the ranks of the free voters accuse the traffic light coalition of repeating accidents and not taking the concerns on site seriously.
