It's just one of those odd stories.
Up in Limburg (about an hour north of my house), is a mid-town street area composed of B8 (state road), Frankfurter Strasse, and Diezer Strasse. What you can see out of the layout....in the mid-town area, these three streets are the main way to get from west to east...in the town.
Because of Nitrogen Oxide levels....there's a ruling that came down (EU rules) that these three streets are to be forbidden for entry/exit for diesel or older model gas cars....starting in April of 2022.
Just about everyone in town has a negativity about what is going to be created. Fines to be handed out....if you accidentally get on one of these three in the mid-town area.
The fact that all three lead over to the local train station? Yeah.
The reaction presently is that a whole bunch of people (in the guilty group) will just look for alternate routes around the three streets.....making the mid-town area a colossal mess....even for locals.
Property values along the alternate routes to go down? Probably.
All of this being done with almost no alternate route planning or routes? Yes.
Once the air has reached 'clean' levels....then what? Will the no-entry be taken down? No one says that.
