Pedestrian traffic concept
Stand: 18.12.2025
A pedestrian traffic concept is being drawn up for Erlangen to make walking safer and more attractive.
As part of the Transport Development and Mobility Plan (VEP) 2030, the city of Erlangen has identified walking as an important factor in the climate and transport transition. On July 25, 2023, the Environment, Transport and Planning Committee decided to commission a city-wide pedestrian traffic concept. The aim is to increase the safety and attractiveness of walking throughout the city - both in the city center and in all districts of Erlangen. The planning basis for this is being developed by the commissioned planning offices "LK Argus" and "Mobilitätslösung".
The pedestrian traffic concept is being drawn up with the intensive involvement of the administration, politicians, local experts and the population.
The current planning status of the high-speed cycle connections and the initial results of the pedestrian traffic concept in the city districts were presented on various occasions.
During the pedestrian traffic checks in Erlangen East, Erlangen South and Sebaldus, Erlangen Bruck, Erlangen, Anger and Rathenau as well as Alterlangen, citizens, politicians and the administration jointly assessed the local pedestrian traffic situation. In a joint inspection and a preceding workshop, proposals were developed on how to make walking routes even more attractive and safer in the future. After the inspections, the results were jointly prepared and summarized in workshops.

A city-wide kick-off event was held on Tuesday, November 5, 2024. The objectives and process of the project were presented. You can find the documentation at the bottom of the page.
The first mobility forum on the pedestrian traffic concept took place on 14.07.2025 in the council chamber. Information was provided on the work steps to date and goals and standards were discussed together. The definition of the footpath network was also a topic of the event. A total of around 45 representatives from politics, administration, advisory boards and interest groups took part.
