A lot will be different at Tutzinger-Hof-Platz from Monday © State Building Authority Weilheim
Drivers in Starnberg will have to get used to it starting next Monday: The Weilheim State Building Authority is starting the traffic test in advance of the tunnel construction.
The police announced that they would check compliance with the turning regulations.
Starnberg
- At Starnberg's largest intersection, Tutzinger-Hof-Platz with its five streets, the turning options will change from next Monday, March 25th.
The experiment, which is used to test concepts for the construction sites during tunnel construction, lasts around nine weeks and has several phases.
The first is the change at Tutzinger-Hof-Platz from Monday.
“The application of the necessary road markings to mark the new traffic connections will begin at around 5 a.m. on Monday, March 25th.
This time in the early hours of the morning was specifically chosen so that the marking work should be largely completed by rush hour,” said the Weilheim State Building Authority shortly before the start.
“Once this marking work is completed, the temporary traffic lights will be put into operation with the new traffic programs.
This is how the trial operation begins.” The trial is scheduled to run until May 25th – and this is what it brings:
This traffic routing applies from Monday, March 25th, at Tutzinger-Hof-Platz in Starnberg.

Traffic on the B 2 (Hauptstraße and Münchner Straße): Nothing changes for road users.
Traffic from the direction of the motorway with the destination city center: Nothing changes for drivers on this route either - apart from the fact that you can turn half-left from Münchner Straße onto Wittelsbacherstraße, but not onto Josef-Jägerhuber-Straße.
You can get to this via Wittelsbacherstrasse, Ludwigstrasse and Maximilianstrasse.
Traffic from Hanfelder Straße to the city center: There will be no changes for drivers on this route.
Traffic from Wittelsbacherstrasse/city center: Half right onto Münchner Strasse towards the district office/motorway and sharp right onto Josef-Jägerhuber-Strasse is still possible, but no more.
Turning onto the main street and Hanfelder Straße is no longer possible.
There is a diversion for this traffic via Ludwigstrasse to the main road.
So that no one has to wait there for hours, a temporary traffic light has been set up to regulate traffic both in the direction of Tutzinger-Hof-Platz/motorway and in the direction of Weilheimer Straße.
For example, if you want to go from Kirchplatz to Hanfelder Straße, you have to drive via Ludwigstrasse and Hauptstrasse and turn left at Tutzinger-Hofplatz.
The fact that there will be more traffic there (because there will be people turning from Wittelsbacherstrasse) is taken into account when the traffic lights are switched.
Pedestrians: no changes, all paths can be used.
The other entrances to the city center – Possenhofener and Leutstettener Straße – remain free.
In the latter case, however, changes will be made during the course of the test.
Later - there are no exact dates yet - turning from the direction of the motorway onto the inner Leutstettener Straße (in front of Mc Donald's) will be prevented, and in a further step, crossing Münchner Straße from the outer Leutstettener Straße onto the inner one.
Background: This is exactly where the construction site for the north portal of the B 2 tunnel is supposed to be.
The State Building Authority recently hung information banners in the city area - on Heimstättenweg, on Söckinger Straße and on the Georgenbach railing directly on Tutzinger-Hof-Platz as well as indoors in the foyers of the town hall and the Starnberg district office.
Anyone interested can use the QR code to go directly to the Weilheim State Building Authority's Tunnel Starnberg project page and receive extensive information about the entire project, the authority said.
“The banners developed for outdoor use focus on the essential elements in order to raise citizens’ awareness of this test phase,” explained Michael Meister, head of press and public relations at the State Building Authority.
The police expect drivers to have problems with the new rules in the first few days.
Nevertheless, drivers will be consistently punished if they believe they can turn despite bans, explained Oliver Jauch, traffic officer at the Starnberg police.
However, because of the new traffic light phases, drivers have to be prepared for oncoming traffic where there was previously none.
If the attempt leads to massive traffic jams, it will be stopped.
