Transportation & Mobility

Together with the Free State of Bavaria and the federal government’s Autobahn GmbH, the city of Erlangen is seeking solutions to improve noise protection in the urban area along the A 73 federal highway. Residents of the adjacent residential areas would benefit most from a potential enclosure of the highway.

The City-Suburban Railway (StUB) is intended to connect the cities of Nuremberg, Erlangen, and Herzogenaurach as a tram system and help secure the region’s future by serving as an efficient, environmentally friendly, accessible, and attractive alternative to car travel. The StUB offers the opportunity for sustainable mobility, particularly for the large number of commuters along the urban corridor.

The damage to the Kriegenbrunn lock cannot be fully repaired. Therefore, the Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration (WSV) is planning and constructing a new lock at the same location, incorporating the latest engineering technology.

The city of Erlangen is developing a pedestrian traffic plan, with the active participation of its residents, to improve safety for pedestrians and make the city more attractive.

With the “Regnitzstadt” project, Erlangen is set to gain a new neighborhood on the site of the former large parking lot. At the same time, the neighborhood is intended to serve as a distinctive gateway to the city and be developed into a major transportation hub.

A parking plan for downtown Erlangen was developed in collaboration with affected stakeholders. The plan is being tested as part of a pilot project at Bohlenplatz. The goal is to reduce sidewalk parking, establish loading zones, and develop new parking regulations.

Erlangen’s downtown area is heavily burdened by traffic (parked vehicles, commuter traffic, etc.). To reduce motor vehicle traffic in the city and improve the quality of life for residents, public transportation will be further strengthened through appropriate measures.

The one-way bike lane on Schallershofer Straße is regularly driven over by motorists and is therefore used only to a limited extent by cyclists. Together with the public, the relevant department is now developing ideas for redesigning Schallershofer Straße.
