Marburg Enhances Cycling Safety With New Parking Rules
Marburg's local administration is implementing a significant change to cycling infrastructure in the city. The move aims to enhance safety for cyclists by introducing a clear separation from parked vehicles.
Currently, parking on the side strip in Marburger Straße does not provide a 75 cm safety separation strip for the adjacent bike lane. The new plan allows future parking on the sidewalk instead, ensuring a safer space for cyclists. This change is expected to help prevent 'dooring incidents', where cyclists collide with opened car doors. The responsibility for installing necessary traffic signs falls under the Fachdienst 66 - Tiefbau in Marburg.
