Graphic19aThe Ramstein-Miesenbach Office of Public Order would like to remind all motorists that streets that have the blue traffic signs, which show playing children, a car and a house, are designated areas with reduced and limited traffic. The authorized maximum speed is 10 kph. Local officials noted that numerous motorists drive a lot faster. This is dangerous, especially for children who play on such streets.
Motorists are asked to stick to the given speed limit and to drive at a walking pace, being extremely cautious.

The following rules apply to areas with limited traffic:
• Motorists must drive at a walking speed of 10 kph and pass with the utmost attention.
• Pedestrians are authorized to use the full width of the street but must not interfere with traffic.
• Children’s play is authorized everywhere.
• Motorists may not endanger or impact pedestrians. If needed, they must wait.
• Parking is only authorized in designated spaces.
