The diversion will be signposted locally and will take place via the St. Marx junction, as well Today.at reported.
Road safety in focus
This work is in line with recent efforts to improve road safety. The Federal Ministry of Transport (BMV) has launched a comprehensive program to optimize road safety in Germany and Austria. Human factors, vehicles and transport infrastructure play a crucial role here. An important goal is Vision Zero, i.e. reducing traffic accidents to zero, as stated on the website BMV is explained.
To ensure safety on our roads, infrastructure safety management is being introduced. This includes, among other things, an impact assessment of the traffic safety impact as early as the design planning stage, safety audits, regular safety checks and the combination of reactive and proactive assessments of infrastructural influencing factors. Compliance with these standards is essential so that road users can travel safely in the long term.
The coming days will bring both challenges for traffic on the A23 and progress towards safer infrastructure. Take advantage of the opportunity to plan diversions in advance to avoid delays!
