Tempo 30 for more security: Kolmstraße in Stötteritz becomes calmer!

From June 16, 2025, a section of Kolmstraße in Leipzig-Stötteritz becomes the 30s zone. With this measure, the city of Leipzig reacts to the sometimes very high noise pollution, which was determined in this area. According to a current notification of the city, the traffic -related noises are 65 decibels during the day and 55 decibels at night, which is above the urban limit. These values ​​are not only uncomfortable, they can also have health consequences for the residents.

The affected section extends between the commandant pendulum avenue and the Holzhäuser Straße. The measure was decided on behalf of the city district advisory board Southeast and is intended to increase the safety near the Franz Mehring School and the swimming pool in particular. Lower speeds should significantly reduce the risk of accidents for pupils, pedestrians and cyclists, reports lvz.de.

destinations of the noise action plan

The introduction of this speed limit is in the context of the third continuation process of the urban noise action plan. In this plan, 32 urban noise spots were identified, including the Kolmstrasse. The aim of the plan is to reduce the ambient noise and to initiate targeted measures against noise that are necessary due to nationwide regulations and EU requirements.

Overall, the current noise action plan proposes 21 measures to reduce vehicle and commercial transport. These suggestions include the installation of additional speed cameras, the adjustment of traffic light systems and the use of LED plates for traffic control. It is also planned to use noise-optimized asphalt for future construction sites to continue to minimize the noise load, such as [tag24.de] (https://www.tag24.de/leipzig/leipzig-ab-sfort-nur-noch-tempo-dem-desst-ihr-in-legen-baler- 3393539).
