The city of Jihlava has made progress in marking additional bike lanes on main streets in the city center. At the end of October, there was also the addition of contraflow bike lanes.
Advisory bike lanes have been added to 600 meters of Fritzova Street. Bike lane markings have also been implemented in the adjacent Havlíčkova Street. This measure improves conditions for cycling where parallel bike paths or other calmer routes do not exist.
In the vicinity of Havlíčkova and Fritzova streets, contraflow bike lanes have been marked on Chlumova, Rokycanova, Gorkého, and Třebízského streets. These improve accessibility primarily for local residents. The city of Jihlava systematically marks contraflow bike lanes and gradually introduces them on a broader scale. During this Summer, as part of changes to parking zones, 19 contraflow bike lanes were marked throughout the city center.
Currently, approximately half of all one-way streets in the city are bidirectional for non-motorized traffic.
„One-way streets are important in the city for diverting through traffic or gaining parking space. However, they create a barrier for cyclists. The solution is contraflow bike lanes, which ensure comprehensive permeability of the area for cycling and provide alternative routes on quieter and therefore safer streets. Supporting the development of cycling infrastructure is in line with the state’s strategy, contributing to the reduction of motorized traffic intensity and public health,“ stated the municipality regarding the implementation.
