Tempo 30 will be withdrawn next week on Leipziger Strasse - good news for Berlin drivers!

Good news for drivers: On Leipziger Strasse in Mitte and Martin-Luther-Straße in Schöneberg, speed 50 should soon apply.

Reason for the withdrawal of km / h on the streets are the complaints from two drivers before the Berlin administrative court. The red-red-green Senate prescribed 30 speed on 33 street sections in 2018 on 33 street sections-to the annoyance of many drivers.

At that time,

was too high nitrogen dioxide values. According to the "Tagesspiegel", significantly fewer pollutants are now being expelled. The reason for the speed limit would be eliminated.

According to the report, the Senate Department declared that Tempo 30 on Leipziger Strasse can be withdrawn before the negotiation. "For a significant part of Leipziger Straße, the lifting from the Senate Transport Management is already planned," says court spokesman Stephan Groscurth.

This requires a change in the air pollution control plan by the Senate. The same applies to Martin-Luther-Straße.

The administrative court wants to negotiate on December 12th on a 120 -meter -long section on Leipziger Straße.

context for Berlin

In recent years, the Berlin Senate has taken several measures to improve air quality in the city. This also included the introduction of Tempo 30 on different streets to reduce pollutant emissions. The Leipziger Strasse in Mitte and Martin-Luther-Straße in Schöneberg were two of the affected streets.

The decision to take back on these streets is based on lawsuits from drivers before the Berlin Administrative Court. These complaints caused the Senate to re -check the nitrogen dioxide values ​​and found that the pollutant burden had dropped significantly.

The Senate now plans to lift the speed limit on Leipziger Strasse as soon as the air recovery plan has been changed accordingly. The speed limit is also to be withdrawn for Martin-Luther-Strasse. The administrative court will negotiate on a section on Leipziger Straße on December 12 on the lifting of Tempo 30.
