Apply for play street...

Hello,

we live in a new small housing development. There is a street with a dead end. Recently, traffic has increased because the houses/apartments have been newly occupied. We talked to neighbors and asked if and how one could get a street designated as a [Spielstrasse] with walking speed by the city??

Is the street public or private?

Requests to the mayor. Every mayor holds consultation hours. There you can present your concerns.

He will know what needs to be done.

That might be difficult. Does the street already look like a play street, for example no separation between sidewalk and roadway. We have already failed to get the speed reduced from 50 km/h to 30 km/h.

I was just about to say: Don't get your hopes up too much. I've never experienced that a street in the places I've lived was ever renamed ...

Depends on the situation and the committees, as well as on the district.
