Overview

• The CDU-led proposal targets up to 25 of the 41 air‑quality Tempo‑30 sections for removal based on improved pollution readings, restoring 50 km/h where lifted.
• Traffic Senator Ute Bonde says cleaner air removes the legal basis for many reduced-speed stretches on principal roads.
• The SPD sought documentation on how high‑frequency school routes were assessed as a condition for proceeding with the plan.
• Bonde says her administration examined school‑route risks, but detailed, street‑level results have not been published.
• Environmental group DUH announced it will review and potentially challenge each removal order in court, arguing Berlin’s air remains insufficiently clean.
