As Mayor and Transport Officer Ines Schiller emphasizes, the municipality of Bad Ischl has taken the measure to improve traffic safety. The affected roads are characterized by narrow lanes and confusing road guidance, which is a risk, especially for children playing in the area. With the introduction of the speed limit, these dangers should be minimized.

legal foundations and measures for security

In order to create the legal requirements for the speed limit, a separate local area called "Kreutern-Trenklbach" was defined. This measure now enables the speed limit of 30 km/h to be binding for all road users in the specified zones. This would apply both within the created area and to the passage of vehicles.
