The pictograms with tractors, cyclists and pedestrians on field and farm tracks around Rodgau are currently being given a fresh coat of paint. Two years ago, around 46 of these signs were sprayed in places where farmers and their vehicles meet people and where things can sometimes get pretty tight. In order to resolve such situations in an uncomplicated manner, understanding and friendliness are needed on both sides. "That's why we're also promoting mutual consideration this year," explains Markus Ebel-Waldmann, operations manager at the municipal utility company, whose employees are currently "refreshing" the markings. The markings can only be found in the outskirts of Rodgau. They are applied to paths that are primarily built for agricultural traffic, even though they are of course ideal for walking and cycling. It is not always possible to avoid them with large vehicles, as the edges of the field paths are not designed for the weight of tractors. Farmers or leisure users are welcome to contact us directly at tiefbau@stadtwerke-rodgau.de if they know of any routes that should be marked with such a symbol.
