Düsseldorf / Meerbusch - For years, residents in demanding a 44-Ilverich and stockings, "soft power, the bridge! The noise makes us sick. "But Busch's Sea Mayor Dieter Spindler received by those in charge only to hear:" It does not work! "
EXPRESS found out now: it's possible! Reason for the high continuous noise up to 64 decibels are too low a noise barrier and the expansion joints between the bridge and the approaches that generate the rhythm of the cars darüberrollenden one maschinengewehrähnliches "plop-plop".

Miles dirt stays out



Dusseldorf - On Sunday we go! Then Dusseldorf is finally divided into environmental zones to reduce the particulate matter limit.
Anyone who has a sticker in your car may, in his car (no longer in the city even if it initially has no nodule).
Of all the boards Ludenberger Street, where the fine particles were in the last year 42 exceeded times, each vehicle is allowed to continue.
Much to the annoyance of local residents. "It is one of the busiest and dirtiest streets in Dusseldorf. The volume control is proposing here until it stops, and yet nothing happened, "complains Jürgen Bachmann. "It is preposterous that the Ludenberger road is not part of the Green Zone. Are the people here 5th Class and 1st in the downtown Class? "
The volume is intolerable by cars, trams and buses. Therefore, more and more people move away. Many houses and shops are already empty. "From morning to night it's just loud. I can not even open in the living room window. My daughter has been so lung problems. We then move away quickly as possible, "said Olga Horn.
In the evening, the neighbors will find no rest. "It's terrible," said Dale Harris. "The windows need because of the volume remain closed forever." Otto L. annoyed: "Our helplessness is already large. The noise is almost unbearable. "Eleftherios Patsis is also totally frustrated. "The traffic is often rumbles through the area even at night. It sounds partly like a tractor in front of the door. "
In addition, a container that is designed to measure the dust blocked the view of his restaurant. "This is very umsatzschädigend. I have the place for 18 years. If I'd known that with the container before, I would have looked for a different location. "
But quick help from the city it will not exist. The Environment to deal with the problem, but has no concrete solutions at hand. "It makes no sense to build on a stretch of road of 300 meters, an environmental zone," says Helga Stulgies alderman.
