Complete closure of Ochsenstrasse: Closed until further notice due to an accident!
On December 3, 2025, there will be a complete closure on the Ochsenstraße community road. The affected route extends between the Am Hardt district and the junction with the Unteren Drahtweg. The reason for this short-term measure is an accident-related road repair that must be carried out immediately. Road users are asked to understand the inconvenience caused by this closure.
Full closures are often unavoidable to ensure the safety of all road users and to carry out necessary construction work. According to STVO2GO, it is important that the admissibility and justification of such measures are made transparent. The principle of proportionality plays a central role, as the measures must be proportionate to the objectives pursued. A complete closure may therefore only take place if there is no milder means of achieving the goal.
Legal basis and requirements
As can be seen from STVO2GO, various legal aspects must be taken into account when it comes to full closures. Traffic regulations must be constitutional and pursue a legitimate purpose. The suitability, necessity and appropriateness of the measures are crucial in order to maintain road safety while taking the concerns of local residents into account.
In addition, there are specifications for the necessary safety measures that must be adhered to at construction sites on the road. These concerns are recorded in the Information from the Berlin Senate Administration. Companies that order a full closure must first apply for a traffic law order from the responsible road traffic authority. This order clearly states how construction sites are to be cordoned off and how traffic is to be regulated. In addition, the streets that will be closed must be marked accordingly.
The associated plans must be provided at the time of application. Without these official orders, no work can be carried out on the streets. The fee for such orders can vary between 10.20 and 767.00 euros, depending on the specific requirements of the measure.
The current developments regarding the complete closure of Ochsenstrasse illustrate how important a well-coordinated approach to road repair is. It is the responsibility of the authorities to inform all affected road users in a timely manner in order to ensure appropriate diversion routes.
