Darmstadt relies on safe and barrier -free conversion of intersections
As part of the Squada model project funded by the federal government - safe crossing for everyone in Darmstadt has been reached to further develop the so -called Dutch crossing . After intensive discussions, revised planning has now been presented, which meets the requirements of bike, foot and visually impaired road users alike.
Since 2017, the project has been aiming to improve security at Darmstadt intersections - especially for cyclists. The solution now found marks a turning point: bicycle traffic will in future be led on protected cycling lanes on the road . In the future, right-handed cyclists will be based on the light signal system for car traffic to avoid conflicts with a transverse walk. An indirect and structurally separate solution is planned for left -hand turners.
The foot traffic also benefits: barrier -free sidewalks, crossings that have just been running and the elimination of the previous free legal lane in favor of pedestrians and pedestrians are central elements of the new planning. In the area in front of the Art Nouveau bath , more security is created.
A central component of the new approach was the round table on March 26, 2025 , in which Fuß EV, the CBF, the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences and the Radtscheid were involved. Paul Georg Wandrey, the agreement achieved is a "success for mobility peace" and offers a blueprint for further intersection conversions in Darmstadt .
"The science city of Darmstadt thus sets a clear sign of a safe, barrier -free and low -conflict renovation of the urban transport infrastructure," said Wandrey.
The design planning is now being developed on the basis of the coordinated proposals by a planning office.
