Cycling Routes Gets a Green Update: Fresh Locations Marked with Arrows for Bicycle Commuters
In the hub of Bergisch Gladbach, the vibe of eco-friendliness is escalating with the extension of green lights at traffic signals for bicyclists! This move comes after positive feedback and practical success in daily commutes, pushing more folks to hop on their wheels.
First Deputy Mayor, Ragnar Migenda, echoes the city's acceptance, claiming these green lights have positively influenced the city's traffic flow, making cycling even more appealing. He expressed his gratitude towards the citizens for their responsible usage of these lights.
New spots swarming with green lights will be found at these locations:- Dolmanstraße / Halbenmorgen- An der Gohrsmühle / Zanders-Gelände- Hermann-Löns-Straße / Franz-Hitze-Straße
However, not every intersection will witness this transformation. Some may face hurdles, such as accident hotspots or high traffic volume. Unfortunately, green lights won't materialize for these reasons, like at:- Dolmanstraße / Alt Refrath- Kölner Straße / Neuenweg- Gladbacher Straße / Berzeliusstraße
As the city administration urges vigilance from all road users, remember, the green light still requires a complete stop and cautious consideration of traffic conditions.

On a broader scale, cities like South Bend, Indiana, might inspire Bergisch Gladbach. Recognized as a "Bicycle-Friendly Community," South Bend boasts an extensive plan to establish a network of bike routes[5]. Bergisch Gladbach could follow in its footsteps with strategies such as public surveys, network planning, infrastructure development, green light systems, and integration with public transport options. Although specific details about new and non-planned locations in Bergisch Gladbach are elusive, these strategies can pave the way for expanding cycling infrastructure in the city.
The First Deputy Mayor, Ragnar Migenda, believes that the introduction of green lights for bicyclists in specific locations, such as Dolmanstraße / Halbenmorgen, An der Gohrsmühle / Zanders-Gelände, Hermann-Löns-Straße / Franz-Hitze-Straße, is positively impacting the city's traffic flow and making cycling more appealing. However, not all intersections will receive these green lights, as some may face challenges like high traffic volume or accident hotspots, like at Dolmanstraße / Alt Refrath, Kölner Straße / Neuenweg, Gladbacher Straße / Berzeliusstraße. In the future, the city administration may continue to follow the lead of cities like South Bend, Indiana, a "Bicycle-Friendly Community" with an extensive plan for bike routes, by implementing public surveys, network planning, infrastructure development, green light systems, and integration with public transport options.
