Heavy goods inspection on the a3: 25 violations

Heavy goods inspection on the a3: 25 violations

A few decades ago there was a standing term "concerted action". It matches exactly what happened at the aurach-nord rest stop: police, customs and the veterinary office of the city of erlangen checked trucks weighing more than 3.5 tons.

"Waves out especially trucks that look like they have a cow aggregate", thomas zwiener of the veterinary office calls out to police chief inspector willy eger. Eger and his young colleagues are responsible for directing vehicles to be inspected from the highway to the rest area. "Many more pass by than we accommodate here. That's why we have to choose, by feel and by experience", says eger.

The b287 will soon be passable again

He could not and did not want to specify an exact time, because there was still a lot of work to be done this morning. He also needs "green light" from the forestry authorities.

On tuesday, workers of the construction company josef fell had cleared parts of the road in the direction of the golf course. Two trucks and an excavator were used in the process. Nearly 30 unstable trees that forestry experts had marked were felled for safety reasons. According to stefan zehe, this also has other advantages: more light falls on the road and it dries out much faster, especially in winter.

Bad bruckenau: the town council gives the go-ahead for the cycle path

It was an engaging debate that the city council held on the bike path. Traffic officer karlheinz schmitt (CSU) was the first city councilor to speak up. On his vacation, he saw a bike path that ran directly along the road as a traffic lane. His conclusion: "so we have a very safe bike lane". After all, the road is also demarcated by a curb from the rhonexpress rail bike path.

He also said that the bike path had only been moved to make room for parking spaces along robert-katzer-weg. They were urgently needed for the thermal spa sinnflut. "You have to make compromises somewhere", said schmitt. In addition, a structural demarcation would rather increase the danger: cyclists could get stuck on a lander with their handlebars and cars with their rearview mirror. This estimate is in line with the opinion of the german bicycle club (ADFC), which was submitted to the city council.

Deutsche telekom wants to build a platform for online services in cars

Deutsche Telekom wants to build a platform for online services in cars

Question: mr. Clemens, how does telekom fit into the automotive industry??

Response: the competition between car manufacturers is no longer fought in vehicle technology. The service offering in the car makes all the difference. With their mobile devices, customers are used to using their content while on the go. The question is: how do we get them into the car?? We need an open platform that all car brands and service providers can jump on. And the customer must be able to decide what he wants to use: for example, which streaming service he uses to listen to music.
