Ensuring public safety is a top priority for both the city of Salzgitter and the police. The registered rallies and the necessary presence of police forces will have an impact on public life in the Lebenstedt district. Citizens must be prepared for considerable traffic obstructions on November 24 from around 8 am to 6 pm. In this context, there may also be restrictions for local businesses.
During the course of the week, no stopping signs will be erected in the area of the planned route (railroad station, Berliner Straße, Neißestraße, Albert-Schweitzer-Straße, town hall forecourt). The no stopping sign on the square in front of the town hall will be in place from Friday, November 23, the others will be in place on November 24.
On Saturday, November 24, there will be an increasing number of road closures from 8 am. The following streets and squares are affected by the closure (see also the map):
- Lebenstedt train station parking lot,
- Berliner Straße between Konrad-Adenauer-Straße and Neißestraße,
- Neißestraße between Berliner Straße and Albert-Schweitzer-Straße,
- Albert-Schweitzer-Straße between Neißestraße and Joachim-Campe-Straße,
- Town hall forecourt,
- Konrad-Adenauer-Straße, between Berliner Straße and Albert-Schweitzer-Straße and
- the bus station area.
These closures will remain in place as long as the demonstrators are on the road. It is not yet clear when road traffic will be able to flow freely again.
For residents in the Steinackern area and all roads to the south up to Marienbruchstraße, there will be an access and exit option at the Neißestraße/Schlehenweg junction (see map).
Consequently, considerable traffic obstructions are to be expected.
We ask for your understanding.
