In the past few weeks, three new contraflow bike lanes have been established in two neighboring districts in the south of Prague. They make it easier to navigate through side streets, allowing cyclists to avoid weaving through residential neighborhoods or using busy main roads.
In Prague-Šeberov, two new contraflow bike lanes have been created on Na Babách Street and K Rozkoši Street. Both streets are residential zones where bidirectional cycling is supposed to be established according to regulations, without the need for horizontal markings. The district implemented these measures based on a citizen’s suggestion, justifying the action as the „implementation of a new cycle path.“ It’s not clear whether the Prague 11 office was referring to the renovated path along K Hrnčířům Street or the planned path along K Rozkoši Street, as the latter is currently a field road.
Until now, Šeberov had only one two-way cycle street on Musilova Street along cycle route A22.
The Prague-Kunratice district has marked a new contraflow bike lane on Za Valem Street. Originally, this one-way street was designed to prevent cars from bypassing traffic jams on Vídeňská Street, which was causing restrictions for cycling. If a person on a bicycle wanted to reach K Zelené louce Street, they had to take a detour on the busy Vídeňská Street (+230 meters) or V Zeleném údolí Street (+430 meters). The bidirectional cycle lane significantly shortens the passage through the neighborhood and provides a partial alternative to riding on Vídeňská Street.
In Kunratice, there was previously only one two-way cycle street on Golčova Street.
