FPÖ Submits Inquiries Regarding "Roadrunner" Scene in Vienna
They usually have tuned vehicles, like to meet at night, and consider speed limits more as recommendations: So-called Roadrunners repeatedly cause trouble on the streets. The FPÖ is now submitting inquiries on this topic, both in the National Council and the Vienna City Council. A street in Vienna is cited as a hotspot. The Freedom Party wants to know, among other things, how many operations have already taken place.
According to the FPÖ, massive noise pollution and dangerous acceleration races by the scene around Heiligenstädter Straße in Vienna-Döbling have been causing trouble and concern for residents for years. The city and the Ministry of the Interior have not yet managed to sustainably get the problem under control, complain FPÖ National Council member Hubert Fuchs and FPÖ City Councilor Klemens Resch. They now want information about the measures taken so far against the speeders, as they informed the APA.
Roadrunners in Vienna: Containment of the Scene Demanded
Specifically, FPÖ City Councilor Resch will inquire with Traffic City Councilor Ulli Sima (SPÖ) about how many complaints have been received by the city since 2020 and what specific measures have been taken. There will be targeted questions about the city's level of information, internal coordination between various municipal departments, and exchanges with the district leadership.
Additionally, they want to know whether the city of Vienna has systematically assessed the extent of the problem - for example, whether noise measurements or traffic counts have been conducted. In parallel, an inquiry will be directed to the Ministry of the Interior in the National Council. According to the FPÖ, the focus here is on what the police know about the composition and behavior of the scene, how many operations have already taken place, and what violations have been recorded. They also want to know if there are concrete proposals to contain the situation.
FPÖ with Inquiries in the Federal Government and in Vienna
At the same time, the Freedom Party representatives are inquiring whether changes, such as parking options on the street, are conceivable. For example, they are demanding nighttime resident parking in this area. "It is completely unacceptable that an entire residential population is terrorized for years and left alone with the problem while the politically responsible play for time," said Fuchs and Resch in a joint statement.
