Erfurt, Deutschland - in Erfurt there is currently a real construction site chaos that presents many drivers and residents with challenges. With numerous blocked roads and diversions, the citizens have to prepare for a restless time, while the city initiates a comprehensive transformation with the redesign of Nordhäuser Strasse in the north. According to Thuringia, a roadway renovated and wide cycle paths for cyclists are now created. This measure should ensure more security and comfort on the two new, 3.25 meter wide bike paths.

But the redesign also has its critics. In particular, the reduction of lanes to one downwards and one in the city ensures resentment among residents and users.
