In this first preparatory phase, thin silver/grey dashed lines will be applied to the road, which will later be used as a guide for the actual markings. This work, which is starting now, will continue into the coming week from Monday, January 29, 2024. Immediately afterwards - weather permitting - the actual markings will be applied and the beacons installed. The city administration expects the traffic trial to be fully in place around two weeks later.
A company commissioned by the city will mark out a width of 2.70 meters of the right-hand lane in both directions with illuminated beacons at intervals of five to ten meters and solid yellow markings. A lane with a width of 3.50 meters remains for motor vehicle traffic.
The separated lane for bicycle traffic will be marked with bicycle pictograms. Property access roads, junctions and parking spaces will remain accessible and will be marked in yellow for additional safety. The row of beacons will be interrupted at the relevant points. Driveways and parking spaces can be accessed despite the solid line. This line is only a lane boundary that may be crossed. Bus stops and loading zones are also marked.
Background
Following the upcoming renovation of the sewer, road drainage and road surface from June, the road space on Adenauerallee between Koblenzer Tor and Bundeskanzlerplatz is to be redesigned. As it can no longer be reconstructed in accordance with current regulations, the city administration has proposed the creation of one lane for motor vehicle traffic in each direction plus additional turning lanes in the intersection areas as well as a structurally separated, safe cycle lane - a so-called protected bike lane.
This traffic routing will be tested in a three-month traffic trial from February to the end of April. This test phase is intended to provide insights into the performance of the single lane for motor vehicles. Among other things, the average travel time of motor vehicle traffic will be measured. To accompany the traffic trial, the city administration will be holding on-site and online dialog stands in March and April to invite people to share their experiences with the traffic trial and make suggestions for the new plans.
Information on the Internet
The city administration will continue to report. Comprehensive information on the project can be found on the city's website at www.bonn.de/adenauerallee. (opens in a new tab)
