A local resident rails against the traffic situation around the secondary school in Dorfbeuern. The head of the village counters and promises to improve the situation quickly. . 

"It's chaos every day," complains Alexander Hummer. The large construction site in the center of Dorfbeuern - as reported by the "Krone" - is a thorn in the side of the Flachgau resident. "Now everyone drives along the upper Dorfstraße to the middle school, it's really dangerous," says Hummer. It's far too narrow there. "Parents bring their children by car, park everywhere, drive all over the place. It's really dangerous for the hundreds of pupils, but also pedestrians like me."

In an emergency, emergency services would "certainly not be able to use the road at peak times". Hummer is a local resident and says: "Does something bad have to happen before something is done?" He has often complained to the municipality about the situation and demanded a solution. Hummer: "But we are only ever put off."

Local leader Adolf Hinterhauser (ÖVP) told the "Krone" newspaper: "A widening of the road will happen and has already been budgeted for. We can't do magic - even if unfortunately not everyone in our community wants to see that. The situation will also improve when the construction site is finished."
