Düsseldorf is chasing the cycling boom: 91 junctions now active!
Düsseldorf shows how to rethink cycling: the official completion of the junction signage system was celebrated on October 23, 2025. With the installation of over 90 junction boards, the city has created a comprehensive network that provides clear orientation for cyclists throughout the region. Jochen Kral, head of the mobility and environmental department, emphasizes that the proportion of bicycle traffic in Düsseldorf has increased from 18 to 21 percent. This is a remarkable leap that underlines the city's commitment to sustainable mobility.

The system allows cyclists to navigate easily and intuitively. The junction numbers, which are clearly visible on red signs, show the route to local and long-distance destinations. You quickly notice: With a maximum of two-digit junction numbers crossing the routes, planning cycle tours without local knowledge is child's play. Over 600 hubs in the Rhineland cycling region support the use of this new system. Patrick Schumann from Radregion Rheinland e. V. emphasizes the importance of cooperation between local authorities, which has led to this success.

Innovative offers and digital features
The city hasn't skimped on spontaneous discovery tours on two wheels. In addition to the classic signposts, QR codes have also been integrated, which provide digital content such as tour suggestions and gastronomy tips. A special highlight is the new themed route “Experience Japan in Düsseldorf”, which presents selected Japanese places in the city over 20 kilometers. In this way, Düsseldorf shows that they not only want to improve the local cycling infrastructure, but also encourage cultural experiences.
The continuous promotion of cycling plays a central role in urban planning. The Federal Environment Agency emphasizes that in metropolitan areas up to 30% of car journeys could be shifted to bicycles. Such measures can not only relieve the burden on the environment, but also improve the quality of life of citizens. Cycling is environmentally friendly, saves space and reduces noise - and the positive health effects cannot be ignored. If you cycle for 30 minutes a day, you can even increase your life expectancy!

Conclusion
The junction signage system in Düsseldorf is more than just a signpost: it is a sign of the future of cycling in the city. According to Jens Ihsen from Visit Düsseldorf, the Tafeln is an invitation to everyone who loves spontaneous discovery tours. The junction signpost is therefore an indispensable element for all everyday and leisure cyclists who want to explore the wide range of cycling regions in the Rhineland. Have a good trip!
