Traffic signal installed on Duisburger Street
In the heart of Alt-Oberhausen district, a new pedestrian traffic light has been installed near Obermeiderich station on Duisburger Straße. The installation was a direct response to concerns raised by several local residents and council members about the dangerous crossing situation on the busy road.
Councilor Sonja Bongers and the deputy district mayor Ralf Bohnes proposed the solution, which was later approved by the administration and implemented after a resolution by the district council. The SPD faction in the council also supported the installation.
The traffic light was put into operation at the end of July, and since then, it has been in active use by residents. The installation was carried out without causing significant disruptions to the flow of vehicle traffic. The relatively short signal times of the traffic light have minimally affected vehicle traffic.
The dangerous crossing situation was particularly concerning for customers of the discount store, bakery, and catering establishments located on Duisburger Straße. The installation aims to improve safety for pedestrians, offering them a safer and more secure way to cross the busy road.
Interestingly, the young tree previously located at the site of the traffic light installation was moved to another location, not felled. A private photographer captured the photo of the traffic light installation, providing a visual record of this important safety improvement.
