Bavarian Court Orders Immediate Return to Tempo 30 on Munich’s Landshuter Allee

The decision rejects a delay request, enforcing the air‑quality plan’s limit during the pending appeal.

Overview

  • The Bavarian Administrative Court (BayVGH) refused to suspend a lower‑court order, requiring Munich to reinstall Tempo‑30 signs on Landshuter Allee at once.
  • Judges said the city failed to show the ruling was obviously unlawful and deemed doubts about Munich’s nitrogen‑dioxide forecast credible.
  • Tempo 30 is embedded in the 2024 Luftreinhalteplan, yet Mayor Dieter Reiter restored Tempo 50 in January without first amending that plan.
  • The court said switching signs creates no irreversible facts and rejected waste‑of‑funds claims, noting the city triggered the back‑and‑forth itself.
  • City officials said the sign swap would start promptly, with work scheduled through today, while the complaint and any formal plan change remain undecided.
