Mobility department Wandrey: "Measures promote mobility peace and quality of stay in the district"
In its meeting on May 21, the magistrate of the science city of Darmstadt decided to implement the first measures from the traffic concept for the Lichtenbergblock in the Martinsviertel. This begins the gradual implementation of the Heinerblock , which aims at calming down traffic and improving the security and quality of stay in the neighborhood.
A one -year traffic attempt was originally planned. Due to the current budgetary situation and the irreversible new parking space, this experiment is now being dispensed with. Instead, the city starts with inexpensive immediate measures from level 1 of the three -stage traffic concept.
Gradually implementation to increase acceptance
"The Lichtenbergblock was selected for the first Heinerblock in the sense of the mobility peace. The aim is to calm traffic and increase traffic safety and quality of stay," explains Mobility Director Paul Georg Wandrey. Implementation takes place gradually in order to gain experience, to adapt the measures and to increase acceptance in the neighborhood.
In 2025, initial measures are to be implemented, including:
- Markings and signs to secure school paths (Lichtenbergstraße/Müllerstrasse axis)
- Improved crossing points
- Establishment of one -way streets
- Reorganization of parking areas
- Promotion of car sharing offers and bicycle parking systems
Monitoring and scientific support
The city will evaluate the effect of the measures over a year. Own counters are used for this - there are no additional costs. At the same time, the project is scientifically accompanied in cooperation with the Loewe research center Emergencity at the TU Darmstadt. Sensors for recording noise, fine dust, microclimate and space use are installed to enable before and after comparisons. The data protection -compliant implementation is ensured according to Emergencity. There are no costs for the city of Darmstadt.
