Traffic Controls During Rush Hour
Particularly during morning and evening rush hour, authorities urge caution and strict adherence to the permitted maximum speeds. The mobile radar controls on Monday were primarily reported for the Jena-Süd area. Since exact road sections are often not published in full detail in advance information, measurements should be expected throughout the southern city area as well as on the main access roads.
Background: Traffic Hotspot Jena-Süd
The south of Jena is heavily influenced by daily commuter traffic. Important traffic arteries such as the Bundesstraße 88 (B88) as well as Kahlaische and Rudolstädter Straße run through this area. They connect the populous southern districts such as Lobeda and Winzerla as well as the surrounding region (e.g., from the direction of Kahla) with the city center. To ensure traffic safety on these often very busy routes, the police and the public order office conduct regular mobile controls here. The general recommendation for all road users is: plan a little more time, especially during rush hour, and pay increased attention to changing speed limits to avoid dangerous situations and fines.
