New cycle paths in Siegfriedstrasse: construction work for more traffic safety

new cycling lanes for more security in Berlin-Lichtenberg

The construction work for new bicycle lanes in Siegfriedstrasse in Berlin-Lichtenberg started in mid-August. This measure aims to significantly increase safety for cyclists and to improve the traffic situation as a whole.

effects on traffic and the municipality

The cycle paths on both sides of the road will be 550 meters long and 2.50 meters wide. Clear markings and physical demarcations from the rest of the road are to be created that ensure a safe journey for all road users.

The construction work requires a temporary one -way regulation for car travelers in Siegfriedstrasse until at the end of August. During this time, stops for buses and trams are temporarily laid in order to maintain the traffic smoothly.

additional parking spaces and traffic routing

To compensate for parking along the new cycling strips, 34 new parking spaces in Rüdigerstrasse between Siegfriedstrasse and Dietlindestrasse are created. This is to ensure that both car travelers and cyclists can find enough space and that the traffic situation is relieved as a whole.

The construction work and traffic operations are expected to continue until the beginning of September, while bicycle traffic is led on the sidewalk depending on the construction phase. This measure is part of a long -term plan to expand the cycle path network in Berlin and to improve the safety of cyclists.
