Detailed description (English): A major step toward safer and more sustainable mobility is currently underway in Poing: Along Gruber Straße, a new 1-kilometre walking and cycling path is being built as part of the town’s effort to improve everyday active travel. The project is scheduled for completion in September 2025.
One of the key goals of this measure is to eliminate a known accident hotspot. The former two-way cycle path is being replaced by two separated cycle lanes, each designated for one direction of travel. This new layout will significantly enhance safety and clarity for all road users – especially for cyclists and pedestrians.
The new infrastructure supports Poing’s broader mission to promote active mobility, reduce traffic risks, and create a more liveable, people-friendly environment. It’s a local solution with long-term impact – and an example of how communities are rethinking mobility in line with the goals of the European Mobility Week.
Detailed description (original language): Derzeit entsteht entlang der Gruber Straße (Ortsdurchfahrt Poing) ein neuer Geh- und Radweg mit einer Gesamtlänge von rund 1 Kilometer. Die Fertigstellung ist für September 2025 geplant.
Mit dieser Maßnahme wird ein bestehender Unfallschwerpunkt entschärft: Der bisherige Zweirichtungsradweg wird aufgelöst und durch zwei getrennte Radwege je Fahrtrichtung ersetzt. Dadurch wird die Verkehrsführung deutlich übersichtlicher und sicherer – insbesondere für Radfahrende und Fußgängerinnen und Fußgänger.
Der neue Geh- und Radweg verbessert nicht nur die Verkehrssicherheit, sondern trägt auch zur Förderung der aktiven Mobilität in der Gemeinde Poing bei. Ein wichtiger Schritt für mehr Lebensqualität und nachhaltige Fortbewegung im Alltag.
