Advance from the Breisgau – Freiburg relies on Tempo 30 – politics

The Baden-Württemberg city of Freiburg would like to introduce Tempo 30 as the standard speed throughout. According to its own statements, the city would be the first German municipality with such a regulation. The Mayor of Freiburg, Martin Horn (independent), Transport Minister Andreas Scheuer (CSU) proposed a corresponding model test, as the city announced on Friday. In order to enable the model test, Scheuer should create a special regulation of the Road Traffic Act (STVO); up to now, this stipulates a maximum speed of 50 km / h in town. Support comes from Baden-Württemberg’s Minister of Transport Winfried Hermann (Greens). Such a regulation for the cities is overdue in the interests of traffic safety.
