The Greens feel confirmed: New roads attract new traffic.

This is one more reason for the district association to fundamentally reject the construction of additional routes and to call for greater funding for local public transport.

They feel confirmed by a study on the A94.

Dorfen / Erding - District chairwoman Helga Stieglmeier refers in her press release to a study by the navigation system operators.

According to this, almost exactly a year ago, many citizens from the region used the opening of the Isental motorway to use the new section of the A 94 between Heldenstein and Pastetten to get directly to Munich.

The analysis of the data also shows that many journeys to work were covered in this way.

That means: commuters who have previously used the train have switched to the car.

Part of this may have been due to the corona crisis.

Stieglmeier is annoyed that the traffic on the A 94 from Dorfen and Lengdorf in the direction of Munich has doubled.

"This is not how the traffic turnaround can succeed, we cannot stop climate change this way," she says.

It continues to be "a wrong traffic policy that relies on individual traffic".

You can see that with the expansion of the FTO, the new B15 and the Erdinger northern bypass.

"Here, too, it will lead to more car traffic being generated," said the district chairwoman.

What is finally needed is a policy that focuses on local transport.

The S-Bahn connection - "a 20- to 40-minute stumbling block" - is a scandal.

The intercity buses would have to run every hour.

The Greens also challenge cycle expressways.
