Otterfing - The majority of the Otterfinger municipal council has spoken out against a 30 zone in Palnkamer Straße.

In the building committee it still looked as if the implementation of a 30 zone on Palnkamer Straße in Otterfing and its side streets would have a good chance.

At the municipal council meeting, however, the committee clearly rejected this after a sometimes very passionate discussion.

So it stays at the long Palnkamer Straße at 40 km / h.

Otterfings Building Authority Manager Hubert Zellner spoke out clearly in favor of the 30 zone: “As far as the speed control is concerned, we have a real patchwork quilt there.

We could dissolve that and create a closed area with uniform rules. ”As Zellner said, the right-before-left rule would then apply in the entire quarter.

Hildegard Huil (Greens) found the proposal "thoroughly welcome and imaginable".

Her group colleague Thomas Hogger added: “All of Paris has managed to introduce a 30 zone.

That would lead to a relaxed togetherness and a reduction of the forest of signs for us too. ”Mayor Michael Falkenhahn said that the 30 zone would serve as a role model for traffic calming in other districts.

In addition, some residents have explicitly spoken out in favor of it.

The most prominent opponent was Vice Mayor Gerhard Heimerer (CSU), who had flirted in the building committee with the suggestion: "I have to roll backwards because I have not considered the right-to-left rule." In his own experiment, he found that there would then be more noise with braking and starting on Palnkamer Strasse. Heimerer also saw the renewed change in traffic routing at the corner of Palnkamer Strasse and Am Teufelsgraben as not expedient.

Hubert Baldauf (Greens, “We shouldn't overuse the citizens”) and Ulrike Stockmeier (FLO, “I see no potential danger here”) saw no reason for a change either. Maria Dießl (CSU) did not see that children playing on the street were at risk: "We have sidewalks on both sides and the gardens are almost all on the side facing away from the street." move even more traffic to the federal highway 13.

Roberto Sottanelli (SPD), who had spoken to supporters and opponents of a 30 zone, was undecided.

He himself could live well at 40 km / h: “Since we have had the parking zones on the street, the speed has already reduced significantly.” This assessment shared Robert Schüßlbauer (CSU): “I'm doing myself hard, here a closed one Range to see, and 40 km / h has proven itself. "

The committee finally agreed with this sentiment.

Max Ruf's (SPD) passionate appeal (“It's about a fundamental question for more quality of life and better cooperation between all road users”) didn't change anything.

The 30 zone was finally rejected with four votes against.
