“The speed monitoring works.” This is the conclusion that Thorsten Preßler, field service manager at the Zweckverband Kommunales Dienstzentrum Oberland, draws for Schongau.
For 2020 none of the hazard lights will be red anymore, albeit just a little.
Because the Colmarer Straße remains a focal point.
Schongau -
The team from the municipal service center Oberland, based in Bad Tölz, was in Schongau last year for 38 measurements.
Of course, the spring started rather cautiously, says field service manager Thorsten Preßler in retrospect.
“The disaster situation at the beginning of last year required the least traffic control.” In 2019, the team was on site 44 times and was able to determine 1,047 violations, in the Corona year there were only 732 in total flashed in the same streets.
The police also keep an eye on the quota
It is interesting to take a look at the complaint rate, a value that, according to Preßler, the police also keep an eye on.
Last year, too, drivers were traveling too fast on these three streets: Oskar-von-Miller-Strasse leads the statistics, followed by Zugspitzstrasse.
Colmarer Straße and Säulingstraße actually share third place.
However, if you take a closer look at the figures for Colmarer Straße, it becomes clear that it is and will remain the great Schongau racetrack: 158 drivers were demonstrably too fast there in 2020.
While 100 drivers were up to ten kilometers an hour too fast and 46 drivers were up to 15 km / h too fast, the list goes on on this street: Seven drivers were driving too fast at up to 20 km / h, two at up to 25 km / h and two with up to 30 km / h too fast.
A driver even had up to 50 kilometers an hour too much on the speedometer - at the end of June in the afternoon in the 30 zone!
Preßler is also shocked: "That is completely irresponsible, and the tolerances have already been deducted from this value."
The field service manager can use hazard indicators to generate a kind of traffic light that is used internally.
In 2020 Colmarer Strasse was just yellow, "almost red" as he puts it.
In the past few years - in 2019, 2018 and 2017, Colmarer Straße was always there at the red traffic lights, and in 2018, Lechuferstraße was also there.
In 2020, a single driver was also flashed there at a speed of up to 30 km / h too much in Lechuferstraße.
Over the year, however, there were no major complaints in this street during the four measurements that were held there.
Continuous traffic monitoring is having an effect
Overall, Preßler can make a positive evaluation for the Schongau drivers for 2020, in the Burggener Straße the traffic light is now even green.
“That means we have achieved the goal of minimizing the danger spots and educating the speeders not to drive that fast,” summarizes Preßler.
The success, of course, lies in the continuous traffic monitoring.
And how did Corona affect the traffic behavior of Schongau's citizens?
“We have fewer vehicles on the road during lockdown times, but we don't really lag behind because of the violations”, Preßlers draws his conclusion from the reports from the technicians on site.
A free road encouraged one or the other to drive fast.
In Marktoberdorfer Strasse, which according to reports from citizens mutated into a race track last year, a total of 36 drivers had been flashed.
Four of them were up to 20 kilometers per hour too fast and one between 26 and 30 km / h.
However, there were only two measurements in total on Marktoberdorfer Strasse, and on Colmarer Strasse a comparatively large number with eight over the year 2020. “We only provide the figures, the municipality can set the priorities,” explains Preßler.
As a rule, you sit together once a year, the police also bring in the accident data, then the measurement priority would be changed or adjusted.
