Stuttgart focuses on bicycle roads: focus on new rules and speed camera!

Stuttgart, Deutschland - More and more people in Stuttgart swing on the bike, and not without reason! Bicycle roads develop into one of the central elements of urban mobility. According to SWR Aktuell serves the "bundling of bike traffic" and gives cyclists priority on the streets. There are currently six bicycle roads in the city, most of them in the center, but also in Bad Cannstatt and Feuerbach.

rules and fines for bicycle streets

The rules are simple and designed not to hinder cyclists. The top speed is 30 km/h for all road users, and a minimum distance of 1.5 meters is overtaking when overtaking. Driving side by side is also allowed here - in the sense of cycling friendliness. If you do not adhere to the regulations, you can expect fines: 15 euros for unauthorized persons, for serious violations, such as false parking, there are already up to 100 euros.

The city of Stuttgart consciously chose this concept to promote cycling and improve mobility. According to stuttgart.de there are not only these special bicycle streets, but also different forms of cycling systems that differ in structural measures, markings or signage. A good knack for the placement of suitable bike paths is of great importance for the city to offer cycling safety and comfort.

A look into the future of cycling

The signs are based on strong growth of cycling in Germany. An initiative to promote sustainable mobility shows that switching to the bike is increasingly popular among the population. Also Mobility Forum and cargo bikes, which drives the modernization process in cycling.

In the context of new projects, not only extensive data is collected that help to analyze the cycle traffic situation, but also develop new and innovative concepts. The aim here is to double traffic performance in cycling and to improve the design of cycling systems in Germany through transparent data. And all of this with a 100 percent promotion by the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport.

The challenges are obvious: expansion and preservation of the infrastructure, sensitization of the population and corresponding measures are required to steer the steadily growing figures on cyclists in a positive direction. Stuttgart seems to be on the right track.
