Guidance system Munich

In Munich, the application of WETRAFFIC thin-film colour system was implemented in the intersection area with the aim of optical guidance of cycling traffic and increasing the safety of cyclists passing through traffic-exposed areas.

The coloured area forms a distinctive navigation element that clearly delineates the cycle corridor in the junction area and increases its visibility to other road users.

‍

Characteristics of the implementation

The application was made as a continuous red thin-film area following the cycling route and existing traffic signage.

Implementations included:

• preparation of the existing asphalt pavement
• application of WETRAFFIC thin film system
• precise connection to cycling infrastructure
• Unification of the color surface
• final technological closure of the surface

The application was carried out under partial traffic restriction with emphasis on speed of implementation.

Functional benefits

Color leadership brings:

• optical highlighting of the bicycle corridor
• increase the safety of cyclists at the intersection
• better readability of the traffic situation
• alerting drivers to the presence of cyclists
• anti-skid properties of the surface

Use of guidance systems for cyclists

Similar applications of WETRAFFIC are used in particular:

• at intersections with cycling crossings
• at crossings for cyclists
• at the connection points of bicycle paths to roads
• in traffic-risk sections
• in urban cycling corridors
