Reducing noise and enhancing safety on Richard-Zandersstraße by setting a speed limit of 30 km/h
In the city of Bergisch Gladbach, a significant change has been made to the traffic regulations on Richard-Zanders-Straße. The new speed limit, set at 30 km/h, was implemented between Refrather Weg and Bensberger Straße, with the aim of enhancing traffic safety and reducing noise levels in the area.
Johannes Behr, the head of the specialized department (Fachbereich) related to traffic and mobility, is responsible for overseeing this initiative. Mr. Behr moderated a relevant event mentioned in local traffic committee discussions and will lead the implementation of the new speed limit.
The decision to reduce the speed limit was made in response to elevated noise levels that were previously recorded in the section between Refrater Weg and Senefelderstraße. This change is part of a previously announced measure by the city of Bergisch Gladbach to improve traffic conditions and quality of life in the city.
The new speed limit is not only about traffic safety but also promotes sustainable and safe mobility in the city. Two playgrounds further along towards Bensberger Straße on Richard-Zanders-Straße add to the importance of ensuring a safe environment for children and residents.
The city of Bergisch Gladbach installed new speed limit signs on Richard-Zanders-Straße on August 18th and 19th, 2025. The city requests the understanding and cooperation of all road users in adhering to the new speed limit.
By implementing this measure, Bergisch Gladbach continues its commitment to improving the quality of life in the city. The new speed limit on Richard-Zanders-Straße is a further contribution to the city's ongoing efforts to create a safer, quieter, and more sustainable urban environment.
