Marking work almost complete – commissioning and inauguration planned for September
Griesheim. The implementation of the planned bicycle street marking work is expected to be completed sometime this week .
Preparatory work for the signage , including the installation of ground sleeves. Some of the traffic signs will introduce new right-of-way rules. At intersections with red markings, priority will be given to the bicycle street. At intersections without red markings, the "right before left" rule will remain in effect.
The cycle path will soon be in operation
Once all the signage is in place, the cycle street will be officially opened . Minor finishing touches, such as adding individual bicycle pictograms, will follow in the subsequent weeks. An official inauguration is planned for September .
What is a bicycle street?
In a bicycle street, cyclists generally have priority . Motorized traffic is only permitted with additional signage and must give way. This means that cyclists set the pace , even if the speed limit remains 30 km/h. Cyclists may ride side by side , and cars must maintain minimum distance of 1.50 meters
All residents and visitors will retain the ability to reach houses and parking lots by car.
