Targeted checks are carried out on motorcyclists in the month of july. The bavarian ministry of the interior and integration initiated a bavarian-wide motorcycle safety campaign in july, particularly to reduce the number of accidents involving motorcyclists. Ten motorcyclists were killed in traffic accidents on the roads in the area of the police headquarters in lower franconia in 2017. In nine of these accidents, the motorcyclist was mainly responsible and to be regarded as the cause of the accident, it says in a press release of the prasidium. In total, there were 614 accidents involving motorcyclists, in which 550 motorcyclists were injured, some of them seriously. The main cause of accidents continues to be excessive or inappropriate speed.
Due to weather conditions, the main accidents naturally occur in the months of april to october, especially on country roads in the lower franconia region.
The lamb load caused by motorcyclists is also playing an ever greater role. Particularly problematic is the fact that some drivers drive at very high speeds on the road and exhaust pipes are manipulated to make the "sound" to change. But the way he drove also played a role. In order to reduce the number of traffic accidents involving motorcyclists, to improve motorcycle safety in general, but also to combat the particular problem of manipulated motorcycles, the bavarian ministry of the interior and integration has planned a bavarian-wide campaign for the month of july.
In the context of the traffic controls the consequences of the disregard and the necessity of the traffic supervision are to be made clear to the concerning in particular. This should cause a change in behavior among motorcyclists and reduce the number of accidents. All lower franconian services will take part in the campaign and will carry out targeted traffic checks throughout july, it continues.

In the hope of good weather, painters from the czech republic, poland and germany will once again be present with easel and brush at various locations in the district this week at the invitation of the erlangen-hochstadt/tarnowskie gory circle of friends, where they will capture special views and capture them on paper.

20-year project in weisendorf comes to an end

It’s finished, the through road of weisendorf. Shortly before the bavarian minister of the interior and transport, joachim herrmann (CSU), officially opened the traffic circle and the road, the bus shelter in front of the jagerhof had also been installed. As mayor alexander tritthart (CSU) emphasized in his speech, a 20-year discussion preceded it.
In the municipal council, too, the expansion of the local thoroughfare had caused many and often emotional debates, because the core of the village was also included in the expansion, because in addition to the funds from the state budget, there was also money from the city’s urban development budget. Mayor tritthart seemed almost relieved with joy about the completion. Therefore, the head of the municipality thanked not only the political representatives and the state building authority as well as the companies involved, but above all the residents and road users. Around 6000 vehicles pass through weisendorf every day, and since the new traffic lights and traffic circle, traffic jams have become a thing of the past.
The total cost of upgrading state roads 2263 and 2259 is around 2.1 million euros. With around 1.6 million euros, the state of freestate is bearing the lion’s share of the costs. In addition to the money from the state budget, this also includes funds from the city’s urban development program. The weisendorf market will pay around 450,000 euros for the project. In addition, the zema company contributed 70,000 euros to the project.
"We have thus significantly improved safety for all road users, especially for pedestrians", both the minister and the mayor emphasized. In the past year and a half, the market town of weisendorf and the state of bavaria have jointly carried out a large number of individual inspections. Two intersections were redesigned to make them safe for traffic, visibility was improved, and the sidewalks were renewed. In addition, two traffic lights were made barrier-free or retrofitted.
A rough section of the local thoroughfare was also rehabilitated. This significantly reduced the burden of larvae on residents, said tritthart. In the course of the tree removals, the weisendorf market also renewed several supply and disposal lines. Between the schwane intersection and the traffic circle at the junction of the main road with the hochstadter and auracher bergstrabe roads, the local thoroughfare was redesigned and equipped with crossing aids for pedestrians – also to make two new bakery branches accessible.
For the statement that the planning for the further expansion in the direction of grobenseebach has already started and that construction will begin in 2015 herrmann received spontaneous applause. In this context, too, the minister called on the two members of the state parliament alexandra hiersemann (SPD) and walter nussel (CSU) to raise more money in the state parliament. "We have more roads here that need to be renovated."
