The announcement of the government negotiators of FPö and ÖVP recently caused a lot of excitement to want to increase the speed limit on local motorways to 150 km/h in the future. In the next forum Echo we summarized what the “krone” readers think about it and what the community thinks.
The negotiating group has already agreed on the introduction of the new speed limit on selected sections. An extension of the entire Austrian highway network is considered and is also in the room.
Reasonable decision
Many readers are positive about the possible new speed limit and look forward to faster progress and shorter travel times at family members and acquaintances. For them, 150 km/h are “possible without problems” and how Fountains It formulates, “finally contemporary”. Many readers also believe that speeds have already been chosen, which would be outside 130 when the weather permits.
Environmental protection and other problems
Many readers’ reactions also relate to the possible influence on the environment and the effects that an increase in speed limit can have for this. Many users also focus critically on the lack of concentration in important areas. Readers would like to know problems instead of pursuing an announcement policy. “Finally, that will solve all our budget problems,” says Close to this Very cynical and representative for many.
As you can see, the readership is quite divided when it comes to this subject. While some look forward to shorter travel times, others think about environmental and road safety. Then there is also a third group that approaches the case much more pragmatically. For these users, the new speed limit simply has fewer effects than many want to fool themselves or how Edocori says it appropriately: “You don’t have to drive 150 either. You can also drive 130 if it is popular.
What is your opinion on the subject? Do you find a limit of 150 km/h on highways, or do you think about road safety and the effects on the environment? Which aspects have not been relieved in this subject and what regulations would you rather have here? We look forward to your ideas in the comments!
