Berlin's Administrative Court confirms 30 km/h speed limit on Leipziger Straße, despite a disgruntled driver's objection. The speed limit, enforced on Leipziger Straße between Potsdamer Platz and Charlottenstraße since 2018 due to excessive nitrogen dioxide levels, was challenged by a motorist who felt the regulation was unnecessary to improve the climate.
The administrative court didn't buy the motorist's argument. Evidence suggests that the reduction in nitrogen dioxide levels observed since 2018 can be attributed to the measures taken. The Berlin Senate, which ordered the speed limit, must wait for the upcoming clean air plan update to assess more recent measured values.
The court's decision doesn't carry legal weight, but the dissatisfied driver must seek permission from the Berlin-Brandenburg Higher Administrative Court if they wish to contest the matter further.
