City of Vienna reaches through: Camillo-Sitte-Gasse becomes a traffic oasis!

In the city of Vienna, there is a significant redesign of the Camillo-Sitte-Gasse. According to Kurier , this measure is intended to contain the frequent blocking of the tram line 9 by false parking. The city plans to remove 500 square meters to make room for more green and better traffic situation.

The project includes the greening of the area with 20 high -shrubs, the installation of a drinking fountain and setting up four new benches. The sidewalks are also widened to improve visibility and increase safety for pedestrians. SPÖ traffic councilor Ulli Sima emphasizes how important these measures are to solve the blocking problem for public transport sustainably.

public transport in focus

like Meinverzirk reports, the Viennese lines suffer from the constant disabilities by false parkers. Tram lines are particularly affected, which cannot dodge due to the blockings, which leads to delays. The redesign in Camillo-Sitte-Gasse is part of a larger offensive to accelerate public transport.

for 2024 is the focus on Camillo-Sitte-Gasse, where such false-parking problems often occur. Over 600,000 euros are planned in the project, which is to be implemented in the summer of 2024. In 2024, 1,528 cases of disabilities were already documented by false parkers, with 60% of them concerned trams.

effective measures against false parkers

The city of Vienna has also increased the penalties for parking public transport to 365 euros, which is a clear measure against the false parkers. In addition, the traffic lights in the city are increasingly prioritized for public transport in order to increase the mobility of the transport companies.
How OTS show, such as in the Kreuzgasse, a decline in over 40% Parked trams.

The planned changes should not only optimize public transport, but also improve the quality of life in the area and increase traffic safety. Barrier -free stops at the level of the Gablenzgasse are also part of these redesigns. Vienna offers a wealth of opportunities for these developments to increase the mobility and quality of life of the citizens.
