And again the crash happened on the Autobahn feeder to the A3! The route has it all: there is always a crash. Almost all accidents occurred when turning on the Speerstrasse intersection. An example: In December 2018, a turning driver (59) collided with a delivery van that came towards her. The woman and the driver (55) of the delivery vehicle were seriously injured.

Motorists look for short cuts
Due to the accidents, a left turn ban was introduced there in summer 2019. The motorists now have to drive about a kilometer further, there around the roundabout and back – and then legally turn right. Many people try to avoid that, as a visual inspection shows. Many turn right where the accident happened on Saturday.

The Reichenburg mayor Armin Kistler (57) criticized BLICK: «We are not happy with it at all. There is currently an alternate traffic. Many drivers do not want to drive to the roundabout to turn there. » Rather, many drivers would try to turn left or right into the side street before getting back onto the feeder.

“A spinning top has to be built”
Mayor Kistler hopes that a definitive solution to the problem will soon be found. Turning the vehicles again and again creates dangerous situations. “Many drive in too close, the risk of accidents is very high.”

Will that prevent future accidents? From the point of view of the mayor, the temporary solution is currently not sufficient. «Something just has to happen. A gyroscope is needed. »
