Neue Schutzstreifen wurden gestern offiziell eingeweiht

| Hofweg with new cycle lane |
The countdown for
European Green Capital 2011 runs. Hamburg improves the cycle infrastructure just before Europe comes to the harbour city and will check cycle traffic critically. Most of the old cycle tracks still have to be abolished. Yesterday representatives of the state traffic administration, the district administration and the local cycle club handed over 530 meters new cycle lanes to cyclists in Hofweg between Averhoffstraße and Winterhuder Weg.

Compared to the former narrow cycle tracks the new cycle lanes make cycling easier and more comfortable. Keeping cars away from the new cycle lanes is desirable for future time. Yesterday cyclists seemed to be satisfied with the new lanes. Cyclists of all ages took over them. The old cycle tracks were converted into sidewalks yesterday. Sidewalks will be wider, no conflicts between cyclists and pedestrians any more.

The comfortable cycle lane stops in the middle of the long street and cyclists need to watch out carefully to pass by parking cars. Hopefully the bad cycle tracks in extension of Hofweg, in Papenhuder Straße, will be abolished as soon as possible, too. Those cycle tracks are even more unsatisfactory than the old ones in Hofweg and unusable. It will be a challenge not to miss out the difficulties in Papenhuder Straße in order to earn the right being European Green Capital and increase number of cyclists in Hamburg up to 18% as planned.

Der Radweg auf der Fahrbahn ist ja schön und gut und ein riesiger Schritt in die richtige Richtung, aber leider wird er schon jetzt als komfortabler Abstellraum für Kraftfahrzeuge missbraucht - besonders vor dem Supermarkt oder dem Eiscafe. Falschparkertickets habe ich an den Autos noch nicht finden können. Hoffentlich ändert sich das Bewusstsein der Autofahrer bezüglich der neuen Radwege schnell.
