Overview

• In Hamburg-Winterhude, SPD, CDU and FDP voted down a Green request for 30 km/h on Sierichstraße outside two daycare centers, citing city guidelines that have not yet been updated to match federal rules.
• The same committee approved 30 km/h on Alte Wöhr, prompting Greens to allege partisan decision-making, while an SPD district member said Alte Wöhr already meets the conditions and further talks with police are expected.
• In Potsdam, the ADFC criticized the slow pace and lack of a citywide analysis, as officials said limited resources prevent a full review and confirmed specific gap closures under examination with an interim update planned for early 2026.
• The 2024 federal change allows 30 km/h at zebra crossings, closures of gaps up to roughly 500 meters between existing 30 zones, and limits along high-frequency school routes.
• In Penzberg, a shortlist from the new mobility concept includes 30 km/h near schools and an eldercare home on streets such as Karlstraße and Seeshaupter Straße, but the committee postponed a decision to October 14 pending further review.
