Munich has similar bike lanes and it seems to work out pretty well, though I only spent a few days there.

- valevk 12y agoEvery bigger intersection has a similar system in Munich. Works pretty well. But in Munich (and Germany as a whole), the road-hierarchy is "the weaker one is right", thus car drivers must be very careful not to run over pedestrians and bicycles. When you take driving lessons in Germany, an essential part of it is how to handle traffic around you. There are many intersections you need to watch out for pedestrians and bicycles, when turning left, and the hard part is, sometimes bicycles drive faster than cars! But when you have a lot of bicycles, this also gives room for new ideas like mobile repair services: http://www.startnext.de/en/harryandmarv http://www.startnext.de/en/harryandmarv
- hessenwolf 12y agoI think they might be building one in the last weeks on Giselastraße. Not obvious at all what it was though. There is a disastrous roundabout there on the way into the English Garden that nobody knows how to use.
