Come what may: The municipality of Karlsfeld will sign the Alte Bayernwerkstrasse as a bicycle route as soon as possible.
However, it is not yet clear whether only residents will be allowed to pass or all drivers.

The Alte Bayernwerkstrasse between Karlsfeld and Dachau is finally becoming a bicycle route.
What is still missing is the signage.
This could get complicated though...
Karlsfeld/Dachau - There are things that don't really fit together intellectually: a windfall and Karlsfeld, gender obligation and the CSU, good news and Deutsche Bahn.
But the latter actually happened at the first Environment and Transport Committee meeting of this year in Karlsfeld last Wednesday: “Apparently the problems in Dachau with the concerns of Deutsche Bahn have been resolved,” says the draft resolution and means: The long-awaited and already half-way through The forgotten bicycle route on the Alte Bayernwerkstrasse between Karlsfeld and Dachau comes.
Hallelujah!
As reported several times, talks between the city and the railways regarding the bicycle route, which includes 160 meters of the route on Dachauer Grund, were stuck.
As Dachau's building department manager Moritz Reinhold said when asked, the feedback from the other specialist department at Deutsche Bahn has now shown "that we have a good and legally flawless solution for the bicycle route in the Dachau city area".
After a two-year wait, the community of Karlsfeld is now finally getting its second cycle route.
Hooray!
After more than two years of waiting, Karlsfeld is finally getting a second bicycle street
In order to crown the Alte Bayernwerkstrasse as Karlsfeld's second cycle route, certain markings on the ground and a certain amount of signage are still necessary.
Pipifax?
Are you kidding me? Are you serious when you say that.
As Karlsfeld's cycling representative Franz Trinkl says, it will probably be spring before cyclists finally have the say on the street.
Firstly, the paint for the corresponding road markings cannot be applied at these temperatures, explains Trinkl.
And secondly, traffic signs still have to be ordered.
The fact that this can take longer can be seen at the zebra crossing on Allacher Straße.
The community had to wait six long months for the blue and white sign with the black man.
In addition, it is not yet clear at this point which signs will actually be placed on Altern Bayernwerkstrasse.
That depends on the Dachau city administration.
Although they plan to provide the relevant section of road with a “residents free” sign, “there are concerns as to whether the mere signage will be accepted by road users,” as Günther Rustler from the Karlsfeld public order office explained to the committee members on Wednesday.
The city is therefore currently examining whether it would be possible to block the passage to Karlsfeld in Dachau for cars, Rustler continued.

How the city decides will probably be revealed on February 27th at the Environment and Transport Committee meeting in Dachau.
No matter what is decided there, one thing is unanimous in Karlsfeld: the Alte Bayernwerkstrasse will be signposted as soon as possible.
The police also get involved
Well-intentioned advice came from the police: The community and the city should please do the signage at the same time.
Otherwise you will end up with one and the same bike street, but with different traffic restrictions.
In Dachau residents are free, in Karlsfeld motor vehicles are free.
In order not to permanently confuse drivers, the municipality of Karlsfeld would have to replace its signs sooner or later.
Why take the easy way when it can be complicated?
