Intelligent lighting in the Hasenheide: a ray of hope for cyclists!

In the Volkspark Hasenheide in Berlin, an innovative pilot project is implemented for cycle path lighting. The old lights, some of which still came from the 1970s and, due to their uneven light distribution, insufficiently illuminated the heavily frequented bike path, were replaced by modern LED lights that now work dynamically. As Licht.de mentioned.

accident protection due to good lighting

The right lighting is crucial to prevent accidents in the dark, not only in parks, but also in urban bike paths. The lighting enables cyclists to perceive obstacles in good time and protects against falls. Licht.de emphasizes that the standard lighting in urban areas is often not sufficient to adequately illuminate bike paths when trees or bushes shade the light of the street lighting. A minimum size of 2 lux is recommended for the sufficient view of the bike paths to avoid dark zones and associated dangers.

These improvements not only help to ensure the safety of cyclists, but also to increase the attractiveness of cycling in the city. With the new, innovative lighting concepts, the Volkspark Hasenheide becomes a pioneer in the traffic and environmental design of Berlin.
