📋 Tender Overview
The city of Vienna is expanding its offer for cyclists: Since the beginning of March, 122 new green arrows have been added to 83 intersections across Vienna in the sixth tranche. As a result, the total number increases to 654 green arrows in the federal capital. The additional boards enable cyclists to turn a total of 431 intersections at red or drive straight ahead.
We are currently implementing Viennas largest cycle path offensive and of course further measures to attracting cycling are also important. Vienna has been a pioneer in the green arrows for cyclists since the beginning, with 654 green arrows we are unchallenged throughout Austria, said mobility councilor Ulli Sima. It recently presented the ambitious cycle path construction program for 2025, as part of which over 50 projects are launched. At the end of the legislative period over 250 projects and almost 100 km in the main bike path network, the progress coalition has already been implemented or launched and has already invested around EUR 130 million in the expansion of the Viennese cycling infrastructure. The many measures pay off, the proportion of the paths of the Viennese in the so -called Modal Split rose to eleven percent in the previous year, and it was still seven percent in 2019. In 2024 11,407,882 cyclists were counted at 17 urban points, over 500,000 more than in the previous year. This corresponds to an increase of five percent.
We have the many different measures. And with the already prescribed green arrows we have consistently positive experiences, adds Martin Blum, cycling officer in Vienna. It is important that after the short stop before driving on, cyclists make sure that everyone is safe and that nobody is endangered. In particular, pedestrians have to be taken into account, emphasizes Blum.
Careful exam - Brigittenau new leader
The security of all road users has priority for the city. The locations proposed by the magistrate as well as the population and districts were examined in advance by the MA 46 - transport organization and technical traffic matters. The districts of favorites and Ottakring in particular receive several additional boards. Even in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th, 12th, 14th, 18th, 19th, 21st and 22nd district, further green arrows are installed. The new leader is the Brigittenau with the current expansion. From mid -March, 18 green arrows will make cycling easier. There are a total of 654 additional signs in Vienna, 516 of which apply to the right and 138 to go straight.
Viennas large cycle path offensive works
The large Viennese cycle path offensive is still in full swing! At the end of the legislative period over 250 projects and almost 100 km in the main bike path network, the progress coalition has already been implemented or launched and has already invested around EUR 130 million in the expansion of the Viennese cycling infrastructure. More than 50 km of cycling infrastructure has also been implemented in the district network. The intensive efforts pay off: the number of cyclists is constantly increasing. For example, the proportion of the paths that are covered by bike rose to eleven percent in 2024 (in 2019 it was seven percent), as the current modal split survey 2024 shows.
