background and safety aspects

in Barmbek, a central district of Hamburg, can always be observed conflicts between cars, buses and cyclists. The Situation becomes more complicated by the frequent crossings of pedestrians at busy intersections. Cyclists are particularly at risk if the vehicles turn because the driver's view can be severely restricted by large vehicles. Cyclists should be aware that in such situations they always have to act near vehicles and take appropriate precautions.

The accident makes it clear how important it is to create safe traffic structures and to strengthen the awareness of traffic safety. Screens that indicate the speed of vehicles and special cycling lanes could help minimize the risks for cyclists. The authorities are responsible for taking measures to improve the security situation in the long term.
