Overview

• Seven of the original 41 sections keep Tempo 30 for air‑quality reasons, and roughly eleven remain limited for traffic safety near sites such as child care or senior facilities.
• Nighttime Tempo 30 from 22:00 to 06:00 will apply across many arteries covering about 230 kilometers for noise and health protection.
• The administration cites improved pollution readings that no longer justify daytime limits under law that sets 50 km/h as the urban default.
• Safety reviews for highly frequented school routes led to only rare findings, reducing the rollback list from an earlier 25 to 23 sections.
• No start date is set as the decision still requires Amtsblatt publication, police and district hearings, traffic‑sign plans, and local sign changes, while SPD, Greens and NGOs criticize heightened safety risks.
