Enhancing Hoystrasse for Safer Bicycling Spaces
In the heart of Münster, changes are afoot for cyclists using Hoyastraße. On September 17th, the city will officially mark the renewal of the protected area and widening of the bike lane between Nordstraße and Kreuzkirche.
The current bike lane on Hoyastraße has often been a source of concern, as it runs directly past cars parked illegally. This issue will be addressed with the renewal, as the city's Ordnance Department will enforce no parking in this section.
The Mobility and Infrastructure Department of Münster is spearheading the renewal project. The bike lane will be widened to a spacious two meters, and the new markings will clearly delineate the protected area next to the bike lane, preventing parallel parking.
The new measures aim to prevent accidents caused by car doors suddenly opening. This is a significant step towards making the bike lane on Hoyastraße safer for all users.
The city has already taken steps to prepare for the renewal. Signs are already in place for the renewed protected area and widened bike lane, and the responsible party for this work is the local municipal road construction department.
The Ordnance Department of Münster will continue to enforce no parking in the renewed section of Hoyastraße, ensuring the safety and smooth operation of the new bike lane.
For those interested in learning more about these changes, a press release is available for free. The city of Münster is committed to making the bike lane on Hoyastraße safer and more accessible for all, and these changes are a testament to that commitment.
