Wartberg improves foot traffic: more security for our children!

In the municipality of Wartberg, something is happening: a newly designed foot traffic concept should revitalize foot traffic and increase the security standards for pedestrians. Mayor Dietmar Stegfellner in particular is committed to increasing the subjective feeling of security of the citizens. The promotion of foot traffic as active mobility should not only increase the number of paths covered on foot, but also significantly improve the infrastructure. As reported meinzirk.at, the school and leisure routes of children and adolescents are particularly focus.

Some measures have already been implemented. This includes the gap in the gap in the "Schloss Haus" railway stop and the extension of the walking stream in Schulstraße to the new Krabbelstuben location. These upgrades aim to make all public transport stops safely and accessible. At the same time, the municipality of existing parking spaces has illuminated and provided it with infiltrate surface, which not only benefits climate protection, but also enhances the cityscape.

analyzes and needs of the citizens

Another important aspect of the concept is the comprehensive analysis of the current state in the municipality. According to the [KlimaChastkmobil.at] (https://www.klimaactmobil.at/fachpersen/mobilitaet/ Frahrzferkei/lokales-fussverkehr concept), source-ziel relationships were used to identify and present important foot traffic routes. Not only existing paths were of interest, but also "Points of Interest" were defined to develop the Wunschwegetz. The involvement of the users is of central importance - concrete weaknesses are to be uncovered through surveys and inspections.

In the discussion about walking, it turns out that over 80 percent of people from the age of 14 are happy to walk in Germany, and almost every third way is covered on foot. These figures illustrate how high traffic is particularly valued for women, children and the elderly. A study shows that the part of the foot traffic is 34 percent for over 80 year olds. These findings were also taken up by the Federal Ministry of Transport (BMV), which has been promoting foot traffic since 2022 and has developed a comprehensive strategy for strengthening foot traffic in the German traffic area, as [https://www.mobilitaetsforum.de/de/themen/fussververkehr_node.html)

a safe and attractive foot traffic
