Berlin temporarily expands bicycle lanes to create more distance between cyclists

Berlin’s Senate Department for the Environment, Transport and Climate Protection and the District Office Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg temporarily expands and implements bicycle lanes. The temporary bicycle lanes are to allow for physical distancing among cyclists during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project starts with two pilots: a widened lane for cyclists on Zossener Straße and a separate bicycle cycle lane on the carriageway on Hallesche Ufer. Due to the decreased volume of automobile traffic, the new or widened bicycle lanes should not affect traffic flows.
