Germany has started testing a new traffic light system called "VeloFlow" aimed at promoting bicycle transportation and making urban traffic safer. This smart system operates based on the movement of cyclists and introduces new rules not only for cyclists but also for pedestrians and drivers.
Germany has launched a new project aimed at promoting bicycle use in urban transportation and increasing traffic safety.
TRAFFIC LIGHTS WILL NOW BE ADJUSTED FOR CYCLISTS
The smart traffic light system called "VeloFlow" has started to be tested in certain areas in the first phase. The most notable feature of the new system is that the signaling is dynamically adjusted according to the movements of bicycle users. This way, cyclists can avoid the long waiting times they experience at traditional traffic lights and achieve a smoother riding experience.
DIGITAL SCREENS WILL BE INSTALLED
As part of "VeloFlow," digital screens that measure the speed of cyclists and predict the status of the light will be installed at selected intersections. These screens indicate whether a cyclist traveling at 20 km/h will reach the next light on green or red. This way, cycling users will be able to make safer decisions.
NEW RULES FOR ALL USERS
"VeloFlow" is not only focused on cyclists; traffic light regulations have also changed for pedestrians and motor vehicle drivers in the areas where the system has been implemented. Authorities remind drivers and pedestrians to be careful, emphasizing the need to adapt to the new signal arrangement.
GOAL: SAFER AND SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION
German authorities state that this technological innovation will both increase urban traffic safety and make cycling a more attractive option for daily transportation. It is emphasized that "VeloFlow" is an important step within the scope of environmentally friendly transportation solutions.
