Fürth in fifth place: Cyclists are happy about better conditions!
Things are making good progress in Fürth: Mayor Thomas Jung is pleased with the results of the ADFC bicycle climate test 2024. With fifth place in Germany and the excellent second place in Bavaria, the city is praised for its efforts to create a bicycle-friendly infrastructure. This is a jump of two places compared to the last survey in 2022, which speaks for the city's actions and strategy. Marktspiegel reported that the city's goal continues to be to improve conditions for cyclists in Fürth.
The cyclists had the opportunity to share their experiences between September and November 2024. As part of the ADFC bicycle climate test, they assessed the bicycle-friendliness of their cities. This is one of the largest surveys on cycling climate in the world, which is supported by the Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport. ADFC highlights how important this feedback is for transport planners and political decision-makers in order to make targeted improvements in the infrastructure.
Planned improvements in Fürth
With Thomas Jung's ambitious plans, the positive development should continue. Three new cycle streets are being implemented: Leyher Straße, Untere Königstraße and Cadolzburger Straße. There will also be new bicycle parking facilities on Frauenstrasse and at Vacher Bahnhof. The city is also investing in the expansion of a high-speed cycle connection between Herzogenaurach and Nuremberg, as well as in a cycle connection between Bamberg and Nuremberg, which will largely run along the canal in the Fürth area.
The ADFC bicycle climate test not only documented the satisfaction of cyclists, but also provides important clues for the future. Cyclists and pedestrians are considered unprotected road users, which is why careful behavior on the roads is essential. The requirements for safety in traffic are clear: cyclists should drive confidently and keep an eye on defensive driving styles and proactive actions. Bicycle Climate Test provides information about the importance of keeping your distance from large vehicles in order to avoid risky situations.
Overall, it shows that the city of Fürth is on the right track when it comes to making cycling more attractive and safer. The goals and planned measures are a step in the right direction and will certainly be of great benefit to cyclists in the region.
