Fight for Haarenschstraße: Will she be a Light bicycle road?

The Haareneschstraße in Oldenburg will be preserved despite the planned redesign of the bicycle road as a “bicycle road light”, reports nwzonline . This is done against the background of a desired new residents' park zone that has triggered a problematic discussion. The city administration proposes to change the status of the street in order to take into account the high parking pressure in the hair shot district. Parking spaces should continue to exist in many places, while only at the Liebfrauenschule there are four parking facilities to increase the safety of the students.

Despite the proposed solution, there are concerns. The ADFC fears that the weakening of the bicycle road could negatively influence use by cyclists. In a statement, Christian Lüdke said that it was better to leave the bicycle road as they completely abolish, as ADFC . Haareneschstrasse is currently an important part of the cycle path network in Oldenburg, especially for students who drive to nearby schools. Here is also pointed out the importance of a real bicycle road that should offer more space for cyclists to enable a safer and more convenient traffic flow.

The discussion takes on a journey: While the concept for preserving Haareneschstrasse as a bicycle road as a bicycle street offers the ADFC with its demand for a better design that there is still a lot of work ahead of us to make Oldenburg's roads safer for cyclists. A bicycle demo on Monday will also draw attention to the importance of the road for cycling and send a strong appeal for the future use of Haareneschstrasse as a bicycle road.
