Fürth debates pedestrian safety at troubled traffic light intersections
Fürth’s municipal traffic committee will meet on November 24 to address two pressing issues with pedestrian traffic lights. Concerns have been raised about safety and timing at key intersections, prompting calls for changes from both the public and local politicians.
At the intersection of Königstraße and Gustav-Schickedanz-Straße, the Youth Council has criticized the current traffic light timing. They argue that pedestrians face unnecessary delays when crossing. However, the city administration has warned that altering the signals could disrupt the coordinated 'green wave' system, potentially increasing traffic emissions.
The committee’s decisions could lead to adjustments in signal timings or infrastructure at both locations. Any changes will need to balance pedestrian security with traffic flow and environmental concerns. The administration’s review will play a key role in determining the next steps.
