Do you not only drive less car during lockdown times, but also slower?
This assumption suggests an interesting statistic that Mayor Stefan Joachimsthaler has now presented to the local council.
Alling - The figures show the total volume of traffic on the main thoroughfares of the municipality from January 1st to February 21st and the average speed of motorized road users.
This contrasts with the data from the same period of the previous year.
Result: There were more than 20 percent fewer journeys than in 2020. The average speed registered by the municipal measuring points (usually at the town entrances) also fell almost everywhere, albeit only slightly.
Hoflacher Strasse
Most of the vehicles passed the display at the eastern entrance to Allingen.
With a total of more than 117,000 movements, Hoflacher Strasse was by far the most frequented (Gilchinger Strasse, on which no measuring device was installed in the previous year, was not included in the comparison).
The residents will hardly have noticed the greater calm, but on average only 2,250 cars passed them every day from Bundesstraße 2, not 2702 as twelve months earlier.
In second place, and that is the real surprise, there is no longer another rush hour route like Parsbergstrasse with almost 31,000 vehicles this year, but a purely inner-city Allingen connection: Antonistrasse (almost 35,000).
The latter also showed the smallest decrease in traffic at 5.2 percent.
The district of Biburg was relieved the most in percentage terms: there were only half as many vehicles on Brucker Strasse, and the frequency on Ammerseestrasse and Münchner Strasse fell by more than a quarter.
Happened with 107 things place-name sign
The speeders did not let themselves be stopped by either the lockdown or a real winter.
The front runner was a driver who passed the place-name sign on Hoflacher Strasse at 107 kilometers per hour, speed 99 was measured once in Holzhausen-Ost.
With 90 things left, the most urgent ones were on Parsbergstrasse and Münchner Strasse.
Nevertheless, one could deduce a somewhat more restrained driving style from the statistics.
Because last year an apparently insane person broke in at 120 on Hoflacher Strasse to Alling, and colleagues of his kind on Parsbergstrasse and in Holzhausen also managed three-digit kilometers per hour.
And everywhere the calculated average speed of all drivers approached the actually prescribed speed a little more.
It was only complied with on Antonistraße: there the cars were traveling at an average of 27 kilometers per hour, just as much as in the previous year.
