Kochel Backs Townwide 30 km/h Plan as Hausham Reworks Limit to Meet Legal Rules

Official reviews shaped a broad rollout in Kochel versus sign-by-sign limits in Hausham.

Overview

  • Kochel’s council approved extending 30 km/h to most local streets in a 10–6 vote, excluding Bundesstraße 11, Staatsstraße 2062, commercial zones and a few unsuitable sections.
  • Police and the district office endorsed Kochel’s concept, with roughly 30 new signs plus markings to be installed by the municipal works in stages through next summer.
  • Supporters in Kochel cited safer residential streets and lower noise following resident complaints about speeding at several problem spots.
  • Some Kochel councillors criticized the approach as too sweeping and urged deeper public consultation and possible street design changes.
  • In Hausham, a 2023 Tempo‑30 zone on Brentenstraße was rescinded after a legal review and replaced with a formal 30 km/h limit that will require many more signs under StVO rules, including postings after junctions.
