Law enforcement issues alert as traffic congestion increases
The A23 motorway in Elmshorn, Germany, is currently undergoing significant infrastructure construction, which may lead to traffic disruptions. The Elmshorn motorway police and the Police Directorate Bad Segeberg are reminding road users of the importance of considerate and forward-thinking driving behavior in construction zones.
In construction zones like the A23 motorway, traffic accidents or hazardous situations have a particular impact on traffic flow due to narrower road conditions. To minimise disruptions and ensure road user safety, the Elmshorn motorway police suggest adhering to driving behavior guidelines before entering a construction zone.
In a single-lane road, road users should pull over as far to the right as possible to let emergency vehicles pass. The rule still applies: Make way immediately for emergency vehicles and form a rescue corridor. In case of a breakdown or traffic accident in the construction zone on the A23 motorway, the Elmshorn motorway police have specific guidelines for road users.
Construction sites on the A23 motorway narrow traffic lanes and present increased demands on road users. Emergency vehicles require extra space to navigate these areas safely, making it essential for other road users to be mindful and cautious.
The Police Directorate Bad Segeberg, led by current head Ralph Garschke, who succeeded Andreas Görs in 2025, is committed to ensuring a safe and hopefully congestion-free journey for all road users. For further inquiries, the Police Directorate Bad Segeberg can be contacted at Dorfstr. 16-18, 23795 Bad Segeberg, or via telephone 04551-884-2020 or email [email protected].
Construction work on the A23 motorway is expected to continue in the near future. The Elmshorn motorway police are providing tips to keep disruptions to a minimum and ensure road user safety on the A23 motorway. Traffic accidents or other hazardous situations occur regularly on motorways, making it crucial for all road users to remain vigilant and follow the guidelines provided by the authorities.
