In poor condition: Road safety on Naturfreundestraße in Hausham is at acute risk.

Broken asphalt, dangerous bottlenecks: road safety on Naturfreundestraße in Hausham is increasingly at risk.
The community is now thinking about a short-term emergency solution.
Hausham
– As soon as one hole is patched, the next one appears.
Anyone who rumbles through the Naturfreundestraße in Hausham in their car needs good shock absorbers.
Cyclists sometimes almost have to have a talent for slalom riding in order to avoid the numerous potholes.
Now the municipality intends to pull the emergency brake - and renovate the important connection between Schlierseer Straße and Schlierachstraße - sooner than expected.
As reported, the initial plan was to wait with the expansion or redesign until all construction sites around the new development area at the foot of the Huberspitz had been completed.
Otherwise there would be a risk of the new road being damaged again by heavy goods traffic.
But mayor Jens Zangenfeind fears that the already dilapidated asphalt will no longer last that long.
On top of that, although the residential buildings in the local project are now well under construction, it is still unclear when Lebenshilfe will build its new Bambi house.
Too much uncertainty for a road whose condition could soon seriously endanger traffic safety.
“We cannot and do not want to risk that,” says Zangenfeind and holds out the prospect of a solution: a scaled-down renovation to save the Naturfreundestraße at least over the next three to five years.
Replacing the asphalt surface
Specifically, the town hall boss has in mind replacing the surface layer - milling it off and re-asphalting it, so to speak.
The associated costs would certainly be amortized over such a period of time given the ongoing high maintenance costs - materials and working hours at the building yard would also increasingly put a strain on the community's finances.
Zangenfeind wants to present concrete figures to the local council in the coming months, which would of course also have to approve the measure.
Regardless of this, the Naturfreundestraße is already a topic at the building committee meeting on Monday evening.
Here the committee is supposed to decide on some traffic regulations in order to defuse some acute problem areas in the short term.
Specifically, according to the draft resolution, it is about making the valid speed limit of 30 km/h easier to recognize, for example through additional signs and pictograms on the ground.
No parking instead of parking spaces
Around the biggest bottleneck at the confluence of the Dr.
In order to widen Franz-Langecker-Straße slightly, there should be an absolute no-parking policy in the first two parking spaces, thereby creating more space for oncoming traffic.
Additional parking spaces could be limited to a maximum of two hours.
As can be seen from the draft resolution, the municipality has already consulted the Miesbach police station, the Hausham volunteer fire department and VIVO about the proposed changes.
None of them raised any objections.
In addition, the building committee will also discuss the results of another traffic count on Naturfreundestraße between house numbers 17 and 19.
Zangenfeind says in advance that he will advocate for the implementation of the measures described in the committee.
The current situation is not only “extremely annoying” for residents, but also poses the risk that emergency vehicles will be hindered.
