Municipalities in Switzerland and Germany implement new speed limits

Municipalities in Switzerland and Germany are implementing new traffic regulations to enhance safety and reduce noise.

In Zug, Switzerland, the City Council has permanently introduced a 30 km/h speed limit on the Allmendstrasse-Feldstrasse axis and parts of Weststrasse. This measure is part of a long-term strategy to integrate these areas into existing low-speed zones, specifically to improve safety for cyclists and schoolchildren. The decision follows an external traffic assessment and requests from local residents.

In Bernau, Germany, the Planetenviertel district has implemented new traffic rules, including a 30 km/h limit on Alberichstraße. The changes also include the introduction of 'right-of-way' rules (right before left), removing previous priority road statuses. To assist with the transition, the city is using prominent signage and plans to deploy mobile speed displays to encourage compliance and improve safety for families and local childcare facilities.
