As part of this discussion, it was decided not to implement a comprehensive introduction of Tempo 30 zones throughout the village. Instead, the Greens have repeatedly made an application for the introduction of such speed restrictions. This application was underpinned with a large number of arguments that focus on improving traffic safety and reducing noise pollution.

The planned driving ban for truck is not to be considered isolated. In Germany there are already several legally regulated driving bans that affect trucks over 7.5 tons.

Empty trips are also affected by this ban. In addition, the holiday travel regulation regulates driving bans during the summer vacation.
