Marburg's New Bicycle Street Boosts Cycling Connectivity
Marburg, a city in northern Hesse, Germany, has bolstered its cycling infrastructure with a new news street. This addition strengthens the connection between a residential area and the local train station, making short cycling trips more appealing and promoting eco-friendly transport.
The new news street is part of a wider plan to enhance the east-west cycling axis. Other measures include installing a median for safer crossings at Berliner Platz, designating Roonstraße as a new balance street, signalizing crossings on Frankfurter Straße, and opening a one-way street section on Alienstraße for cyclists.
To improve visibility and safety, parking spaces near the intersection of Goethestraße have been relocated. The city council's traffic development plan aims to reduce car distances, and adequate passing spaces for motor vehicles have been ensured. Cyclists can now pass through Berliner Platz without turning onto busy Bismarckstraße and then left into Lonystraße. The resident parking spaces freed up in Löberstraße have been set up in Lonystraße between Goethestraße and Bleichstraße. Additionally, the one-way street section of Löberstraße between Bismarckstraße and Goethestraße is now open for cyclists in the opposite direction, strengthening the cycling route between the city park and the train station or the Lahn.
Marburg's new news street and other cycling infrastructure improvements connect residential areas and key destinations, encouraging more people to cycle. These changes aim to reduce car usage and promote greener, healthier transport options.
