Control calming in Paulsenstrasse: Security is very important!
Paulsenstraße between Grunewaldstraße and Schildhornstrasse will be expanded into a traffic -calmed zone in the coming weeks. This was announced by the [berlin.de] (https://www.berlin.de/ba-steglitz-zehlendorf/aktuelles/pressemaytungen/2025/Pressemage department. 1603529.php). In the next five weeks, extensive structural measures and marking work are planned that aim to significantly increase traffic safety in this area.
The planned measures include the installation of sidewalk forward and so -called Berlin pillows, which act as traffic -calming elements. In addition, the parking boards are marked by new traffic signs. The asphalt ceiling in the intersection area Paulsenstraße / Forststraße is repaired under full closure, so that a complete blocking of the roadway will be required in sections from October 6, 2025. The work should be completed by November 7, 2025.
Traffic -calmed areas and their requirements
Traffic areas such as the planned section in Paulsenstraße are linked to special prerequisites in Germany, which result from the regulations of the [StVO2GO] (https://www.stvo2go.de/verkehrsaufter-- und- A traffic -calmed area can be set up in side streets with up to 4,000 motor vehicles per day if the structural requirements are met. The flow of traffic must be very low, which in accordance with the guidelines means less than 400 cars in the peak lesson.
Special features of these areas include, among other things, that they are usually the same level, i.e. do without sidewalks, and have to offer sufficient parking spaces. In residential streets, sidewalks can even be dispensed with if the traffic density allows this. In addition, various measures for traffic calming such as thresholds or “Cologne plates” are possible, which contribute to reducing speeds.
Practical implementation and effects
The measures to calm traffic on Paulsenstrasse should not only increase security for drivers, but above all improve the quality of stay for pedestrians and cyclists. The road redesign requires careful planning; This includes, for example, wide sidewalks and transitions for pedestrians, the visibility of the floor markings and corresponding traffic signs.
In order to inform the residents about the upcoming work, the road construction company will distribute an information flyer. It is pointed out that the access to the land in the affected construction phases can only be guaranteed to a limited extent. Therefore, the restrictions arising during the construction period are requested.
The implementation of such traffic -calming measures is crucial to create a safe and appealing space for all road users. The planned project in Paulsenstrasse shows how good design and corresponding structural measures can be promoted a positive environment for pedestrians and cyclists. In addition to the structural measures, the importance of traffic calming is also pointed out as an integral part of urban planning in order to achieve an improved quality of life in urban rooms, explains the transformer.
