Many motorists avoid the traffic jam-prone area around the market square in Grünwald by switching to Gabriel-von-Seidl-Straße, among other things.

Rarely did so many people sit in the Grünwald administration committee, in the basement of the Römerschanz.

The residents of Gabriel-von-Seidl-Strasse and other streets wanted to show their presence.

Topic: Tempo 30.

Grünwald

– Residents of the Gabriel-von-Seidl-Straße in Grünwald complain that traffic endangers the safety of their children and that the noise restricts the quality of life.

Alexa Meyer and Philipp Rappold applied for a speed limit of 30 or 40 km/h on the collecting road at the citizens' assembly.

The CSU majority in the management committee, however, now spoke out against this repeated push.

Around 30 residents listened in the Hubertus-Lindner-Saal and gave the debate an emotional sounding board.

Alternative to the traffic jam route

The Gabriel-von-Seidl-Strasse offers itself as an alternative to the traffic-prone route via the market square and the Südliche Münchner Strasse in the direction of the city.

It runs relatively straight, without major obstacles and is beautifully clear.

It is one of the few streets in Grünwald on which you can still drive at a speed of 50 km/h.

And so the local residents are asking themselves why it shouldn't be possible to slow down here too.

Sneering laughter

The CSU majority faction, however, rejects the demand and received some sneering laughs during the discussion.

The administration argued with the case law.

The road traffic regulations do not provide for a 30 km/h speed limit on main roads.

This is only possible in part if there is a specific reason, explained Fabienne Unterreiner from the regulatory office.

Tempo 40 does not work at all.

Police had measurements taken

As promised last year, Grünwald police chief Andreas Forster had five measurements taken on Gabriel-von-Seidl-Strasse when he was at school.

This resulted in seven or eight warnings.

This year there were 43 radar and laser measurements throughout Grünwald.

About 1.9 percent of more than 25,000 vehicles received complaints.

The police have not found a single accident on the way to school on the street in question in recent years.

Where children were involved in accidents, the driver overlooked them.

High speed as a cause did not appear.

Since the topic caused emotions to boil over, the police set up a topo box.

She recorded the traffic.

In one week, almost 10,000 vehicles drove south and 11,000 north.

The majority drive between 40 and 49 km/h, almost 30 percent even below that.

Around 15 percent drive too fast.

Andreas Forster: “We are relatively far away from an intolerable situation.

I know I'm stabbing a hornet's nest here."

Green calls for more quality of life for residents

For Ingrid Reinhart-Meier (Greens), who opened the discussion, the most important thing is not speeding or the amount of traffic.

Rather, citizens, families, pedestrians and cyclists should be given a better quality of life.

She feels unsafe as a cyclist on the route.

"We should all have enough brain power together to get something done." She advocated a 30 km/h zone and received applause from the audience.

No reason to change?

Angela Zahn (independent) and Achim Zeppenfeld (SPD) joined her in many ways.

The latter wanted to convert 90 percent of the route into 30 km/h to be on the safe side legally.

Gerhard Sedlmair (CSU) sees no reason to change the current situation: "Everything works perfectly." The committee decided with 6:5 votes not to pursue the application of the two residents any further.
