New cycling strips in Berlin-Kreuzberg: More security on Schlesische Strasse

according to a report by www.berliner-kurier.de built in Kreuzberg a protected wheel lane built to increase traffic safety.

As a citizen of Berlin, it is aware that cycling in Kreuzberg can often be adventurous and dangerous. The Silesian street is a busy route on which it is often difficult for cyclists to move safely. There were tragic traffic accidents that illustrate the extent of the danger for cyclists on this street. Now, however, there is hope for improvement because the city plans to install protected cycling strips on both streets on the Silesian Straße.

The planned cycling strips are said to have a width of 2.25 meters and a 75 centimeter wide protective strip to flow. Additional security measures such as red backgrounds and structural separations are intended to further improve visibility and security. The construction work for the new cycle paths is expected to start in the coming week and should be completed by the end of the year, although there will be no significant restrictions for the flowing traffic.

The construction work will not only increase safety for cyclists, but also minimize the conflicts between parked cars and cyclists. This is an important step to make the Silesian street safer for all road users. Facts like this show that the city of Berlin endeavors to improve traffic safety and strengthen bicycle traffic.
