However, the court upheld the speed limit. The dense mixture of pedestrians, cyclists and motorists in the redesigned section of road justifies the assumption of a qualified hazard.
A before-and-after study commissioned by the Senate Department into “Berlin meeting zones” revealed, for example, that the number of people crossing the two-way cycle path had increased by 167 percent. This justifies the speed limit for cyclists to reduce the risk of accidents. Accidents in previous years are no longer relevant.
