Bicycle protection strips in the wine road: plans cause confusion!
Bicycle protection strips in the wine road: plans cause confusion!
In April 2025, the planned expansion of bicycle protection strips in Bad Dürkheim will stop for the time being. The building committee had already decided in 2022 to set up protective strips for cyclists in the Weinstraße Süd and at the end of the town towards Leistadt. However, work is currently being carried out on the Weinstraße Süd on the official square, but not on the planned bike paths, but in the exchange of a defective gas line, the .
In November 2022, the planned plan to install two 1.50 meters of bicycle protection strips between the outcome towards Wachenheim and Berliner Strasse fell. For these measures, the plans must be coordinated with the state company Mobility (LBM), which has asked the city to commission a traffic analysis. This is particularly important because the wine road at the official square is not wide enough for the two protective strips and a turning lane. According to the city administration estimates, between 7300 and 9,500 vehicles come to this section within 24 hours. The results of the transport analysis are still pending and the city administration is waiting for feedback from Speyer.
disability in bike protection
Some wheel protection strips have already been implemented. On the western side of the wine road, a bike protection strip from Philipp-Fauth-Straße to the office was set up, and on the east side there was also a bike protective strip from the entrance to Denisstrasse. However, the new measures are expected to reduce 30 to 35 parking spaces between the police inspection and the outcome. In addition, the establishment of the two protective strips between the sausage market circular and the town exit towards Leidstadt is still in the exam. Two crossing aids are also planned to increase safety for cyclists.
The shortage of skilled workers in planning and under construction represent a central problem that also affects the municipalities in Rhineland-Palatinate. The Wetterauer Kurier reports that 32 young women and men started their training on the LBM Rheinland-Palatinate on 3. August 2019. A total of 151 trainees and career candidates are currently employed at the LBM, whereby they can take various career paths in the professions of street attendants and in the administrative area.
further training for municipalities
In order to combat the shortage of skilled workers in the public sector, the Mobility Forum BUND, supported by Balm, offers a further training offer entitled "Planning and implementing introductory cycling networks". Dr. Volker Wissing, the Federal Minister of Digital and Transport, emphasizes the importance of not only supporting municipalities in the planning of safe cycling offers not only financially, but also with qualified specialists. The aim is to help municipalities to help shape inviting and secure cycling networks through practice -oriented knowledge transfer to strengthen the promotion of cycling in cities and municipalities.
The financing of this further training is carried out by means of cycling promotion in order to ensure safe and sustainable mobility despite the challenges. For those interested, registration for the course is now available via the web portal of the BUND mobility forum.
