Citizens are calling for safe ways: Leinfelden plans to avoid foot traffic!

In Leinfelden-Echterdingen, something is happening in the field of foot traffic: The local council recently decided a comprehensive foot traffic concept, which is intended to significantly improve the conditions for pedestrians by 2040. The aim is to promote self -awareness and increase the quality of life of the citizens. As part of this concept, concrete measures and quality standards are determined in order to make the walking more attractive, the city reports on its website Leinfelden-echterdingen.de .

The framework of the foot traffic concept is part of a comprehensive mobility concept and traffic development plan. Around 50 kilometers of pedestrian net network are created, including 15 kilometers of main traffic network and 35 kilometers of side network. The concept was developed by a multi -stage participation process in which over 900 reports from the citizens received from the end of February to April 2024, supplemented by a citizens' forum that took place on April 24th to promote direct exchange.

The measures that were derived from the analysis and the feedback include the repair of surfaces, the lowering of curbs and an action program for barrier -free crossings.

The last surveys also show that over 80 percent of people aged 14 and over are enjoying the locomotion on foot.

This strategy focuses primarily on security, attractiveness and accessibility, and gives municipalities and countries recommendations to improve the conditions, adds the press release of the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport bmv.de

in Leinfelden-Echterdingen, the first steps to implement the foot traffic concept are already in prospect. The measures are gradually taken, based on the needs of the citizens and the urban planning priorities. The aspects of accessibility play a major role, especially since different needs have to be taken into account. The city administration is also expected to regularly carry out controls to comply with the traffic rules in order not to hinder pedestrians through parked cars on sidewalks.

The city's commitment is a step in the right direction to make the coincidence not only more secure but also more attractive. With the new foot traffic concept, Leinfelden-Echterdingen will undoubtedly become a place where pedestrians can feel more comfortable.
