Last week, the Municipal Orderly Service (MOS) of the Ordnance Office in the city conducted targeted focus checks in the heavily frequented pedestrian zone. The main focus of these checks was on the unauthorised use of bicycles and e-scooters in the zone.

The pedestrian zone, primarily intended for the safety and leisure of pedestrians, is a protected area. According to the Ordnance Office Director, Michael Althammer, those who drive through the zone with a bicycle or e-scooter without permission endanger others, especially families with children and older people.

During the checks, the MOS identified 169 violations. Each violation was punished with a fine of 25 euros. The goal of the checks is not only to punish violations but also to act preventively through presence and information.

The checks came in response to an increasing number of complaints from the public. The public had repeatedly reported dangerous situations and near-misses in the pedestrian zone. Even low speeds in the zone can result in serious injuries in a collision.

The Ordnance Office Director, Michael Althammer, is the director of the regulatory service responsible for conducting controlled inspections in the pedestrian zone. He stated that the pedestrian zone is a protected area primarily intended for the safety and leisure of pedestrians.

The Ordnance Office will continue checks in the coming weeks to ensure long-term safety in the city center. Those who drive through the pedestrian zone with a bicycle or e-scooter without permission also accept the risk of accidents. It is crucial for the safety of all that these rules are followed.
