Overview

  • The Senate pulled the item from this week’s agenda and expects to decide at its Sept. 2 meeting, according to coalition sources cited by dpa.
  • SPD transport expert Tino Schopf said the CDU-led traffic administration has not adequately answered detailed questions, including how school-route risks were assessed.
  • Traffic Senator Ute Bonde’s air-quality plan would restore 50 km/h on up to 25 of 41 main-road sections, citing improved pollution levels.
  • Bonde says safety checks were carried out, but results have not been published, and Tagesspiegel reporting indicates only two streets would keep Tempo 30 for safety reasons.
  • In an RBB interview, Bonde said she welcomes the SPD’s questions and will clarify the review methodology, adding she does not view the SPD as stalling.
