Well since the maut has come into effect here in Germany, many users
of the roads are useing the Bundesstrassen/ NATIONAL roads and
the amount of traffic is riseing daliy, many occupiers of villages which
are on these routes are now asking that either the maut is also to
be put on these roads or a lorry ban put into use to stop the excess
traffic , this also applies to large citys for example DORTMUND has
had a very large increase in lorry transit traffic and the air polloution has
increased so much that a case is being brought before the city courts with the city council being accused of causeing the problem in the
citys transit route by not banning or regulateing the transit traffic.
If the city loses then we may find a lorry ban on the main route from
the venlo border to kassel which passes through dortmund at night
or even during the day. This will only come to pass if the court finds
in the favour of the group who have put in the claim to the court.
