For this week, the activists of the “Last Generation” have announced glue campaigns all over Austria. Your question: Tempo 100 on all highways. Is that right or is it just bullying? Katia Wagner talks about this with her guests on Wednesday 8:15 PM on krone.tv!
Traffic jams in the city center caused by climate activists are now a daily occurrence for every motorist. Especially in the next two weeks, you should plan more time on the way to work, because: The activists of the “last generation” have announced concentrated protest actions, especially in Vienna there will be glue.
“Demos don’t help, that’s why we have to stick together”
As a result, traffic at important Viennese transport hubs such as the Getreidemarkt came to a standstill from Monday this week. “Civil resistance needs people, it’s a sign,” says one of the activists. Demonstrations would not have led to a rethinking of politics, which is why you now have to resort to glue. One of the requirements: Tempo 100 on the Autobahn!
Study: Tempo 100 would help the climate
A study by the Federal Environmental Service shows that a speed reduction from 130 to 100 on the highway would save 23 percent of fuel consumption and around 460,000 tons of CO2. Road safety would also increase. The motorists’ club ÖAMTC disagrees: because most emissions come from truck traffic anyway and speed limits already apply on many routes, the savings potential would be much lower.
Braking or accelerating?
Should we slow down to 100 km/h because of our climate or is the activists’ demand a pure intimidation of motorists? A representative of the “last generation” and one of the ÖAMTC motorists club will discuss this on krone.tv on Wednesday at 8:15 pm in a conversation with Katia Wagner!
