Traffic & Mobility

Together with the Free State of Bavaria and the federal government's Autobahn GmbH, the city of Erlangen is looking for solutions to improve noise protection in the urban area along the A 73 federal highway. The residents of the neighboring residential areas in particular would benefit from a possible enclosure of the freeway.

With "Regnitzstadt", Erlangen is to have a new district on the former large parking lot. At the same time, the district is to become a striking entrance to the city and be strengthened as a mobility hub.

The damage to the Kriegenbrunn lock cannot be completely repaired. The Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration (WSV) is therefore planning and building a new lock at the same location using state-of-the-art engineering technology.

A parking concept has been developed for Erlangen's city center together with stakeholders. The concept is being tested as part of a pilot project at Bohlenplatz. The aim is to reduce sidewalk parking, set up loading zones and develop new parking regulations.

The city of Erlangen is developing a pedestrian traffic concept with the intensive involvement of citizens in order to make walking safer and more attractive.

Erlangen's city center is heavily burdened by traffic (parked vehicles, commuter traffic, etc.) In order to relieve the city of motor vehicle traffic and increase the quality of stay, local public transport will be further strengthened by suitable measures.

The one-sided protective strip for cyclists on Schallershofer Straße is regularly driven over by motorists and is therefore only moderately accepted by cyclists. The specialist department is now working with local residents to develop ideas for redesigning Schallershofer Strasse.

In future, the Stadt-Umland-Bahn (StUB) will connect the cities of Nuremberg, Erlangen and Herzogenaurach as a tramway and help secure the future of the region as an efficient, environmentally friendly, low-barrier and attractive alternative to car traffic. The StUB also offers sustainable mobility, particularly for the large number of commuters along the urban axis.
