In a recent episode of the city's podcast "website.lauscht", Fabian Fingerlin, head of the traffic office, discussed ways to improve traffic safety with podcast host Jeanette Kuhn. Fingerlin is a key figure in the city's Vision Zero initiative, which aims for safe traffic.

One of the topics under discussion was the implementation of new 30 km/h speed limits near schools and kindergartens. This move is aimed at enhancing safety, particularly by reducing traffic disruptions caused by frequent stopping and pedestrian crossings. Signage for these new speed limits is planned to be installed before the school year begins.

In another district, stationary speed monitoring devices have been upgraded with laser technology to better enforce these speed limits and increase safety on roads.

Fingerlin emphasised the importance of mutual respect in traffic, as everyone moves around daily, using various modes of transport. He also touched upon the importance of attention and respect, especially when school starts after the summer holidays and first-graders are on the road.

The conversation between Fingerlin and Kuhn also covered the important work of the accident commission. The traffic office, apart from enforcing traffic rules, handles a wide range of topics, including vehicle registration and issuing driver's licenses.

To avoid waiting times, they discussed the use of online appointments. This could potentially streamline the process and make it more efficient for everyone.

The podcast also reminisced about a past incident where a speed camera was disguised as a mouse in their city. While such unconventional methods are not the norm, they serve as a reminder of the traffic office's commitment to creative solutions for traffic safety.
