Tallinn will impose traffic restrictions for the time of the horse migration in Astangu

Tallinn to Implement Temporary Traffic Restrictions for Newt Migration

Tallinn will implement temporary traffic restrictions on Astangu Street beginning Tuesday to facilitate the safe migration of newts. The city’s environmental services department has announced the measure in response to the annual amphibian movement. The restriction will apply to a specific section of Astangu Street, encompassing the area from Kotermaa Street to Astangu Street 19/3.

During this period, motor vehicle traffic will be prohibited between 9:00 PM and 6:00 AM. This closure is necessary to minimize disturbance to the newts as they undertake their seasonal migration. City officials will install appropriate traffic signage to clearly demarcate the restricted zone.

The initiative is part of a broader effort to protect local wildlife and their habitats. The traffic restriction will remain in place until the conclusion of the newt migration, a timeframe determined by ongoing monitoring of the amphibian movement. Public transport services will be unaffected by these changes.

This measure highlights Tallinn’s commitment to responsible environmental management and the protection of vulnerable species during their seasonal migration. Further updates on the migration’s progress will be provided by the city.
