Stau-chaos in Schwerin: Mayor takes over an hour for 500 meters!

traffic jam where the eye looks! Drivers in Schwerin are currently patient, because a construction site in the Cancer Förden district ensures considerable traffic disruptions. Günter Tiroux, the mayor of Pinnow, experienced this firsthand and needed a fabulous 62 minutes to get to the bypass on a distance of just 500 meters. This traffic jam is not only annoying for him, but also affects many employees of Stadtwerke Schwerin who commute to work every day. Like Ostsee-Zeitung reports, many of the commuters have now switched to bicycles, but some are still dependent on their cars.

The construction site on the Ellerried, which has been in last, has been the main reason for the long traffic jams. Here the road and bus stops are renovated, which leads to a full closure of the section between departure B106 and Eckdrift. The project is managed by the SDS urban company and was originally supposed to be postponed by two years, which makes the Situation more difficult for many road users. This information comes from Schwerin Local .

measures for traffic optimization

But there is hope: In order to improve the flow of traffic, the traffic light circuits were adapted towards the bypass. The green phase for Grabenstraße and access B106 was extended from the direction of Cancer Förden. These measures already show positive effects, but those responsible emphasize that each adjustment has its limits and that there will continue to be restrictions, especially during peak times between 3:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

The police even had to intervene when a traffic light failed, which further tightened the situation. By August 29, road users must expect increased traffic and waiting times. Stadtwerke spokeswoman Aurel Witt informed that the city continues to do observations and continuously examines the traffic situation in order to make further optimizations if necessary.

look into the future

The first construction phase is expected to be completed on July 17, which could bring with it noticeable relief of the traffic situation. This is an important step after the serious impairments are shaped by the long -lasting construction work. A current overview of the subsystems of traffic management shows how important it is to take effective measures to influence traffic in order to meet the new challenges. This is a central component of modern traffic planning, as in wikipedia can be read.

Nevertheless, the challenges that the traffic management in the state capital brings with it will soon be a thing of the past and all road users can drive through the streets of Schwerin again.
