In recent years, Germany has seen a fairly rapid industrialization and modernization. The German demographics and economy have been growing slowly but steadily in recent years. Germany has begun building a huge bicycle highway. It will be completely forbidden for cars and will be a track exclusively for bicycles. It is interesting that the highway is 62 miles long. It will be a three-lane bicycle highway connecting 10 cities including Duisburg, Bochum and Hamm, as well as four universities. This bike path has lanes, overpasses and underpasses for intersections, as well as lighting. This is a great way for cyclists to be protected, not to worry about trucks and other road users. This highway is designed for cycling consisting of a trail for miles and miles of riding. The purpose of building this highway is to reduce the use of cars, so according to a study it is estimated that this highway for bicycles will leave up to 50.000 cars in the garage.
The highway will continue to be built until 2022 and will connect the cities from Frankfurt to Darmstadt. This investment will cost 43 million euros. Experts estimate that two to three thousand cyclists will ride the bicycle highway on a daily basis. According to a study, there are 42 corridors in the state of Hesse that would be good for building bicycle highways.
Who would want to stand in a mile of columns on the highway, when it can reach the bicycle highway much faster, without obstacles from vehicles and pedestrians?
