Traffic chaos in Verden: traffic light systems should reduce traffic jams

The city of Verden has plans to improve the flow of traffic on the busy Bremer Straße. Currently there are long traffic jams every day, which put the patience of drivers to the test. The proposal to convert two traffic lights into so-called dark stamps could be a promising solution. These traffic lights would only be active if pedestrians want to walk across the street, which may significantly relieve the flowing traffic.

Jonas Diering, a representative of the security and order department of the city administration, confirms that the first step will be the exact calculation of future traffic. The idea of changing the traffic light at the confluence with the high lamp and that on Zollstrasse comes from an editor from Ingo Neumann, a former council member. Neumann emphasizes that the large traffic jam is not only caused by the nerse torch river, the most frequented roundabout in the district, but directly by the regulating light signal systems.

The Nordertormeisel has established itself with around 26,000 vehicles a day than the most used traffic node outside the motorways in the district. Nevertheless, opinions went around before building the roundabout, which attested its performance. One of the challenges is that the access roads have now been limited to better control the traffic rivers. But these regulations often lead to long waiting times before the traffic lights.

The idea of replacing the left turn from Bremer Straße into the high lamp with a bypass over the roundabout could be a possible solution. The turning strip for traffic could be extended in the city, which would help reduce backlog. Similar suggestions apply to the traffic lights on Zollstrasse, which could also be replaced by a needs for pedestrians. In the long term, this could not only improve the flow of traffic, but also increase the safety of pedestrians.

In addition to the existing challenges, the traffic situation is tightened by ongoing construction work. The north bridge is currently being renovated, and the planned southern bridge will significantly influence the traffic situation in the region in the near future because an increase in traffic is predicted. Ingo Neumann criticizes that no appropriate measures to relieve the chaos have been taken over the years and calls for a rapid implementation of improvements.

While some measures to relieve traffic are being planned, citizens are waiting for these proposals to convert into concrete solutions. The upcoming work on the new bridge in connection with the traffic planning on the Nordertormreisel is likely to be crucial for mobility in the city. It remains to be seen whether these ideas are actually implemented and whether the daily traffic chaos on Bremer Strasse belongs to the past.

at a time when the infrastructure of many cities in Germany is under pressure, dealing with such traffic nodes is extremely important. The proposed changes could be the foundation for a noticeable improvement in the flow of traffic and the quality of life of the citizens in Verden.
