36 million euros for our cycle paths - Thuringia will go to the future!

In Thuringia, the cycling infrastructure is invested vigorously. Over 36 million euros have been provided for cycle paths and projects in the past four years, such as Antennen Thuringia . According to the Thuringian Ministry of Digital and Infrastructure, these funds flow into a total of 64 funded projects that have the goal of significantly improving the bicycle traffic offers in the country.

The funds come from the federal program "City and Country", which promotes the construction and improvement of the cycling infrastructure. A total of 55 million euros are available for Thuringia by 2030, and the ministry has the intention to completely call up these funds. Depending on the type of project, between 75 and 100 percent of the costs can be covered by federal funds, which is a real plus for the cycling population.

focus on quality and security

An important goal of these initiatives is to strengthen the tourist and everyday bike traffic in Thuringia. There is a recognizable need to upgrade the bike tourist state network in order to create a uniform cycle traffic route system. According to the Thuringia tourism network, the safety of cyclists is to be increased and the information offers are to be improved. Various funding programs are available for this, which can serve to implement these measures, such as The Thuringian tourism network explained.

In addition, there is the cycle traffic concept 2.0 "Thuringia rises", which serves as a basis for action for cycling policy by 2030. It contains concrete measures and goals for promoting both everyday cycling and bike tourism. The new guidelines for bicycle traffic instructions are committed to a nationwide standard in the signposting of bike paths, which should significantly simplify planning and installation.

long -term perspectives and climate protection

Another important aspect is the importance of bicycle traffic for the achievement of the federal government's climate goals. The ministry not only provides financial resources for funding, but has also secured the framework conditions for cycling funding in the long term. The investment programs "Model projects of cycling", "Radnetz Germany" and the "Special Program City and Land", all of which run until 2029 or 2030, show that Germany and thus Thuringia are seriously working on sustainable mobility, according to the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport, such as bmv.de communicated.

It should be noted that although the federal government offers funding opportunities for the construction of cycling fast paths, Thuringia is not currently fulfilling the prerequisites in order to realize a four -meter -wide “bike highway”. The forecast use of at least 2,000 cyclists per day is not reached at the moment. Nevertheless, the Thuringian Infrastructure Ministry has already announced that it further simplify the approval and planning of cycling projects in order to expand everyday bike traffic.

With these measures, cycling policy in Thuringia meets on the right track - for today and for future generations cyclists. The trend shows that cycling in Thuringia will continue to be an important topic in the future, and developments promise a lot of good for everyone who is on two wheels.
