An estimated 6,000 parking spaces will have to make way for cycle paths

The first ten bike routes in the city of Zurich are available. It turns out that significantly more parking spaces will be removed than previously known.

The first bike highway is to be built on Baslerstrasse – the city has already had a particularly wide bike path painted on the asphalt.

So far, four of the new bike routes in neighborhood streets were known, highways around five meters wide, on which bikes always have priority.
