Bergisch Gladbach Opens First Bike Lanes, Boosting Cycling Network
Bergisch Gladbach has opened its first bike lanes on Hasenweg and Nachtigallenstraße, marking a significant step in the city's plan to promote cycling. The new lanes, part of the F2 route, are designed to serve as a vital connection in the city's future bike network, with cycling expected to increase further.
The bike lanes, opened by first deputy mayor Ragnar Migenda, have a maximum speed limit of 30 km/h for all road users. All users on these lanes have right of way at intersections. While motorized traffic is still allowed, motorists must give special consideration to cyclists. Bicycles may ride next to each other on the lanes, and long-term parking is not permitted. Short stops are allowed only if they do not hinder cyclists.
Similar rules apply on the designated bicycle streets, Hasenweg and Nachtigallenstraße. Motorized traffic is allowed but must adapt to cyclists' speed and yield right of way at intersections. Care services are not permitted to park on these streets.
The opening of these bike lanes signals Bergisch Gladbach's commitment to modern mobility and climate change mitigation. The city plans to gradually expand its bike network, making cycling more attractive, safer, and efficient in the coming years.
