Gutach: Increased safety for pedestrians. They are not even metres apart: On Tuesday, the new B 33 pedestrian lights in Dorfparkplatz in Gutach became operational - within view of the existing Town Hall traffic lights.
Two sets of lights so close to one another: intentional or just a silly error? Yesterday, Gutacht's Mayor gave a clear answer to this question. The Kluser lights protect cyclists, as well as those travelling by bus and the residents of Bergle. We have the museum, two churches, the spa gardens, the bus stop, a doctor's practice and a bank, not to mention the traffic from the 'Grub' residential area.
Therefore the construction of an additional set of lights was more than necessary: "Here safety comes first, it's that simple," said Arnold. According to Arnold, every possible test was carried out prior to the selection of the location for the traffic light posts: "Using a goods vehicle loaded with particularly long tree trunks, we also tested whether such vehicles could access the B 33 from the Sulzbachweg without knocking over the traffic light posts".
The traffic light system itself, which cost around EUR 15,, is the "most modern system that is currently available on the market," explained Arnold.
