The Federal Council agreed to a Reform of the road traffic regulations (StVO) by the Minister of transport, Andreas Scheuer (CSU) on Friday with several Changes. To ensure motorists and other road must adjust to the participant:

Hefty fines for wrong Parking

increase The fines for Parking in the "second row", on footpaths and cycle lanes - a minimum of 15 euros up to 100 euros. This is also true for the Keep to protection strip for cyclists, i.e. cycle paths, which are painted with a dashed white line on the road. So far, cars are allowed to keep it there for three minutes, in the future, it is taboo. In severe cases, there may be a point in the Register in Flensburg. Parking at blind Spots can cost 15 Euro in the future, 35 Euro, unauthorized Parking in disabled spaces instead of 35 Euro in the future, 55 Euro.

rescue alley and free

motorists can make way for emergency forces and in a traffic jam, a rescue alley form to form. In the past, it is not punishable if it does not. In the future, it should also have the same consequences, if you drive illegally through a rescue alley: Then fines of between 200 euros and 320 euros a month driving prohibition and two points in Flensburg.

Two-Meter-distance cyclists

so Far, motorists must keep "sufficient" distance when Overtaking cyclists. In the future, at least 1.50 meters in place and 2 meters extra-urban are specifically prescribed.

Green arrow and the whole bike zones

A green arrow allows you turn right when a traffic light turns red - but only if you stop in the first place and anybody at risk. In the future, there must be such a green arrow specifically for cyclists. In addition to Bicycle roads, there can be whole bike zones. There is a maximum allowed speed limit is 30, the Cycling may be neither endangered nor obstructed.

ban on driving at 21 Km/h too fast,

Urban racers, in the future, used to be a month driving prohibition - namely, when they are 21 miles per hour faster than allowed. Also, unnecessary noise and exhaust harassment, so-called "Auto-Posing", will be more expensive in the future, instead of 20 euros up to 100 euros could be due.

Changes are coming "soon"

abrasive language with a view to the highway code-new rules from a "real strengthening of Cycling". Especially in the case of cyclists, the Accident had deteriorated in the past few years. The Ministry does not want to put the new rules "as quickly as possible" in force an exact date yet.

Other issues in the case of traffic rules remain, however,

speed limit

to get: The Endless debate is likely to continue, even if the next attempt is failed in the Bundesrat. A proposal by the environment Committee found no majority. Scheuer said that we could discuss the topic now every two weeks "to exhaustion". There is a proven System with speed restrictions on about a third of the network and the recommended speed of 130 km/h. A question now is whether and how the SPD actually makes it more pressure, it's called a speed limit, as additional projects she wants to tackle in the coalition with the Union.

residents Parking/pace 30

In the Federal Council, there were proposals, the Fees for residents Parking permits in cities extending from 10.20 Euro to 30,70 EUR 10 to EUR 240 a year. Among other things, it is now to advise but only an "Alliance for modern mobility", launched by Scheuer with the länder and municipalities. This is also true for the project to be able to Tempo-30 zones, easier to set up - not only schools, but also on School routes.

electric scooter

On the table a proposal that hire companies for E-scooter will need a permit, so the car may stand on sidewalks. Because the Chaos on the citizens of many of the climbing sucks. A majority of there was but.

lanes

criticism, there were Scheuers original Plan, that bus lanes could also be for Cars with more than three occupants released. Cities should be able to allow in order to promote carpooling. The Federal Council reaffirmed this point, but from the regulation.
