Cycling faci­li­ties

The volume of cycling traffic in German cities continues to rise. However, more cycling traffic also means more conflicts with cyclists and more accidents involving cyclists. To improve the safety of cycling and ensure that this improvement is sustained in the future, a wide variety of measures are required. On the one hand, the cycling infrastructure – preferably on the road itself – has to be designed in such a way that it can be used safely. On the other, it is necessary to improve behavior on the roads, compliance with the rules of the road and the consideration shown by and towards cyclists.

Remo­val of the obli­ga­tion of use for cycle paths

Several chan­ges in the road traf­fic regu­la­ti­ons, the asso­cia­ted admi­nis­tra­tive regu­la­ti­ons and rele­vant court rulings have led to a fur­ther remo­val of the obli­ga­tion of use for cycle paths. In a rese­arch pro­ject of the Insu­rers Acci­dent Rese­arch...

Traf­fic safety of elec­tric bicy­cles

The num­ber of elec­tric bicy­cles has incre­a­sed in recent years and con­ti­nues to incre­ase both in Ger­many and else­where. For exam­ple, 410,000 elec­tric bicy­cles were sold in Ger­many in 2013.

Safety at roun­da­bouts in built-up areas

Small roun­da­bouts out­side built-up areas are con­si­de­red to be extre­mely safe traf­fic sys­tems both in Ger­many and abroad. In built-up areas, howe­ver, safety pro­blems can occur, par­ti­cu­larly with bicy­cles.
