The last street in the town area without a speed limit has now also been given a 30 km/h limit. The decision was unanimous.

Too many drivers are driving too fast on this road," reports Seekirchen's mayor Konrad Pieringer. This refers to Salzburger Straße at the southern entrance to the town. It is the last stretch of the district capital where 50 km/h is still permitted. But that is now changing. "Following speed measurements, we have decided that there will also be a 30 km/h speed limit on Salzburger Straße," says Pieringer.

Safety of the cycle path is to be increased
The decision was made unanimously by the city's new committee following the election. Two reasons ultimately tipped the scales in favor of the restriction. Firstly, local residents complained and secondly, road safety for cyclists should be increased.

We are now looking at whether the restriction will have any effect. Perhaps we will also get a speed camera. But that's not our decision.

Because the wide cycle path leads directly into the road. This junction has also been marked with red paint to highlight the danger spot even more clearly.

The 30 km/h zone also eliminates the need for complicated additional signs indicating exceptions. The speed limit in the center is still 20 km/h.
