Dangerous cycling on the country road: where the problems are lurking!

Landstraße, Österreich - cycling in the country road not only brings fresh air into the face, but also many challenges for cyclists. In the past few months, the residents of the country road have reported problematic stables that make cycling a challenge in many places. According to MeinDZeil A total of 2,185 reports from Vienna were submitted, of which 773 were classified. The country road as a district area in particular stands out here, with 158 marked problem areas that urgently need attention.

The intersection Erdbergstrasse and Wützlergasse is particularly difficult. Here the lack of space for cyclists, trams and cars ensures hectic and uncertain situations. Cyclists often have to change the street side while cars on the bike path turn right. Even in the none of all, it is repeatedly pointed out to the dangerous location, since the too tight bicycle strip in combination with cars that are driving too quickly endangers security. This alley represents an important connection to the Prater and Danube Canal, which increases the problem. 16 reports have been received on Landstraßer Hauptstraße, whereby the Neulinggasse was most often mentioned, as particularly problematic.

The solution: new cycle paths and cycling highways

In order to improve the situation for cyclists, various measures are planned. The Verkehrsclub Austria (VCÖ) has published an interactive card on which cyclists can enter problems in order to bring about a targeted improvement. This important initiative is supported by donations, which is why privateathms are required in order to continue to be able to do the work of the VCÖ. Interested parties can find more information on the VCÖ's website at vcö .

A positive sign is that new cycle paths should be created to improve the cycling experience in the country road. For example, a two-direction cycle path from Landstraßer Hauptstraße to Grasbergergasse is realized on Rennweg. A planned Radhighway on Landstraßer Hauptstraße promises more security for cyclists and is intended to avoid additional traffic problems.
