Opening of one-way streets for cycle traffic in the opposite direction
The city of Chemnitz intends to open up further roads, this time in the urban areas of Siegmar, Schönau and Rabenstein, to cycle traffic travelling in the opposite direction. This concerns roads for which a maximum speed limit of 30 km/h applies. One of the measures in the cycling concept is thus being implemented. By opening up one-way streets where the local situation and traffic regulations permit, some unnecessary detours for cyclists will be eliminated and the cycle path network extended.
The following signage should be observed:
This means that cyclists are permitted to cycle in both directions on the one-way streets that have been cleared for cycle traffic by means of additional signage.
The following traffic regulations must be observed:
One-way street as part of a 30 km/h zone:
When passing a one-way street that is open to cyclists travelling in the opposite direction, the principle that the cyclist coming from the right has the right of way remains unaffected. This also applies to outgoing cycle traffic.
If a one-way road leads into a priority road for cyclists travelling in the opposite direction, the sign "Give way!" is displayed for cyclists leaving the one-way road.
All road users must pay a high degree of attention. In one-way streets, cyclists must adjust their speed accordingly when encountering traffic, ride as far to the right as possible and stop if necessary.
The signage has been gradually adapted since this week.
The following one-way streets are now open to cycle traffic:
One-way street | Road section |
Galileistraße | Kaufmannstraße - Klingerstraße |
Bürgelstraße | Galileistraße - Kopernikusstraße |
Sterzelstraße | Hertzstraße - Kirchhoffstraße |
Gaussstrasse | Klingerstraße - Kaufmannstraße |
Grünaer Straße | Oberfrohnaer Straße - Burgstraße |
