Fiaker blocked ambulance in Schmaler Gasse – Salzburg
Although fiakers are not allowed to drive on Kaigasse in Salzburg at all, they are said to have blocked an ambulance on Saturday.
The “Association against Animal Factories” reported on a potentially life-threatening incident at the weekend. The location of the event is therefore the Salzburger Kaigasse, in the middle of the old town and in the immediate vicinity of a hospital.
It was there that an ambulance with blue lights had to drive through shortly after 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. But two carriages are said to be blocking the narrow one-way street and leisurely driving down the alley at walking pace. Spicy: By agreement with the city, it should actually be forbidden for the fiackers to leave the route approved for them, so the “VGT” continues.
city should act
Passers-by are said to have reacted in horror. Alexandra Nobis from the VGT says: “Why are the Fiakers still driving down Kaigasse when we handed over violations of the permitted route, which is stipulated in the award criteria of the contract, to the city of Salzburg in November and March? The magistrate must finally take action!”
It cannot be that the Fiaker can do what they want and even hinder rescue operations, so Nobis continue. “The disabled rescue operation also shows clearly that the defined route makes sense and that it has real and serious consequences if other streets and alleys are used in violation of the contract.”
