Rankweil to implement 30 km/h speed limits for improved safety

The municipality of Rankweil has announced that a 30 km/h speed limit will be implemented across large parts of its local area starting at the end of October 2026. This measure is a key component of the town's road and path concept, which was developed through public workshops over a two-year period.

The initiative aims to increase safety for vulnerable road users, specifically children, the elderly, and cyclists. According to Vice Mayor Johannes Herburger, the reduction in speed is intended to create a more considerate environment, reduce noise pollution, and shorten braking distances to minimize the severity of potential collisions.
