The ADFC feared large water waves on the streets of Germany, if the city is to be revived after the Coronavirus crisis. That is the reason.
The output restrictions as a result of the Coronavirus have been reduced. Also with the Auto you can now move freely again. Many people are now driving back with the car to get to work, but this could lead to particularly large traffic jams.
cities in Germany will be revived, and people are increasingly out and about. Many workers no longer need to remain in the home office and can get back to work. However, this leads to peak hours and volume of increased traffic.
The General German Bicycle Club (ADFC) calls, therefore, that people leave the car at home and instead cycle to work. Otherwise threaten them, according to the ADFC, jam-waves “of previously unimaginable extent” and for a simple reason.
Reduced public TRANSPORT operating could cause a lot of congestion in the transport
Due to the Coronavirus-distance regulations is the public TRANSPORT in many cities is still severely limited and could not go longer with a full load. Add to this that many people eat on public transport, because of a possible risk of Infection. Therefore, the ADFC feared that people rely increasingly on other means of transport and more and more will be in your own cars on-the-go. This would even affect hundreds of thousands of public TRANSPORT users.
ADFC-managing Director Burkhard Stork said in a press release: “If now the mass arrest of the former public TRANSPORT users in the car, comes to Germany to a standstill. Even before the crisis, nothing more went into the rush hour almost. This will be worse if it manages to motivate a lot more people for the mobility by bike or on foot .”
So no Super-jams , should go to the citizens, so prefer to walk or ride a Bicycle. In order to bring the people to the cities do something about it.

Burkhard Stork explained that now is the right occasion for it was one of the existing Bicycle infrastructure, structural concepts to implement. In addition, it is a guide of the ADFC that the bike, while the Coronavirus pandemic* as a crisis-proof transport have proven resources. If the cities have well-developed cycle routes , it would move, the people also more and more switch on the wheel .
“The crisis has shown that a lot more people Cycling when the roads are clear. Now the cities have to make them good offers for you to stay on the bike as often and for as long as possible, to be faithful,” said Stork.
