Cycle-only roads and cycling zones to drive new mobility in municipalities

Tuesday 02.00 – 03.15 pm / Block D1

Cycle-only roads are the central element for establishing and upgrading a safe, comfortable and visible bicycle network within built-up areas. The cycling zone, which was introduced with the 2020 amendment to the StVO, also allows to develop areas for cycling. The expert forum shows how both instruments can be used by cities and municipalities to make a significant contribution to the mobility transformation.
