Clean air plan: 50 km/h on Berlin's main roads possible again

Tempo 30

In future, a speed limit of 50 km/h instead of 30 km/h could once again apply on many main roads in Berlin.

Because the air quality has improved, the 30 km/h sections on 34 main roads that were introduced years ago for environmental reasons have to be lifted again for legal reasons. This was announced by Senator Manja Schreiner (CDU) on Friday. However, according to her, this should only apply where road safety permits. For example, the 30 km/h speed limit could remain in place at schools, daycare centers or care facilities. A decision on the new so-called clean air plan is to be made in June after broad public and expert participation.
