Investment opportunity announced for Lony and Löbserstraße streets

In a bid to comply with the legislature's prescribed guidelines for bike streets, the city is implementing a series of changes in Löber Street and Lony Street, located along the Wieseck. From now on, only residents (those who live or work in these streets) will be permitted to drive cars into these bike-priority streets.

This adjustment aims to increase safety and clarity for cyclists and pedestrians, as well as to reduce through traffic, resulting in less noise, fewer emissions, and improved living quality for the residents. Through traffic will be rerouted to main streets such as Ludwig Street, the Berlin Square, or the Südanlage, with the rerouting process still ongoing.

The one-way street Löber Street is being prepared for bike traffic in the opposite direction between Bismarck Street and Goethe Street. This move aims to spare cyclists the need to switch sides on the heavily trafficked Bismarck Street when they want to travel along the Wieseck.

The city's efforts to prioritize cyclists and pedestrians over car traffic are ongoing. Car traffic concerns have been considered: the streets remain accessible to residents and those with business there. The ultimate goal is to improve the city as a whole for all its residents.

The new regulation for Löber Street is still in preparation, and signage is still missing. The city police will strengthen their control of the new regulations in the near future, ensuring that all road users adhere to the new rules for the benefit of all.

Avoiding unnecessary conflicts with cars using the streets as shortcuts is a significant benefit, especially in daily life (e.g., on the way to school or work). This adjustment moves us closer to the goal of making bike streets safe and livable places for cycling and walking. The goal is to enforce the new rules in the interest of all road users and to ensure a sustainable improvement of the situation in the neighborhood.

It is important to note that, aside from Löber Straße and Lony Straße, the streets where resident traffic regulations are being introduced have not been specified in the provided search results. The new rules will apply to all road users, not just cyclists and pedestrians. Until now, general motor vehicle traffic was allowed through these streets, but this regulation is changing.

The ultimate goal is to improve the city as a whole for all its residents, creating a more sustainable and livable environment for everyone.
