Use the bike racks and not the sidewalk to park your bike.
Please use the bike racks to park your bike to keep the sidewalk clear and ensure everyone's safety.
Description of the information board
The information sign is a measure to ensure the order, safety and accessibility of public sidewalks. Bicycles parked improperly on sidewalks can hinder pedestrians, especially people with reduced mobility, the elderly or parents with strollers. This can lead to accidents and affect the use of the sidewalk for everyone.
Why use bike racks?
Safety and accessibility
Parking bicycles correctly on designated stands contributes to the safety of all road users. Clear sidewalks allow unhindered and safe pedestrian traffic. People with limited mobility, wheelchair users, the visually impaired and the elderly are particularly dependent on a clear sidewalk in order to be able to travel safely and independently.
Order and cityscape
Properly parking bicycles on racks helps to maintain a well-kept cityscape. Uncontrolled bicycles can seriously affect the appearance of a district or pedestrian area and leave a negative impression. The use of bicycle racks promotes an organized and aesthetically pleasing environment.
Legal provisions and rules
Many cities and municipalities have rules and regulations that regulate the proper parking of bicycles. These regulations not only serve to ensure safety and order, but also support equal rights for road users. Compliance with these rules by using bicycle racks helps to comply with legal requirements and promotes respectful interaction in traffic.
Promoting the use of bicycle racks
Infrastructure and equipment
Cities and municipalities should provide sufficient bike racks in strategic locations, including schools, shops, office buildings and public spaces. Highly visible and easily accessible racks make it easier for cyclists to park their bikes properly. In addition, informative signs can inform users of the benefits of proper bike parking and encourage them to act responsibly.
Awareness and education
Public outreach and educational campaigns play a crucial role in raising awareness of the importance of using bike racks. Schools, businesses and non-profit organizations can provide information materials and offer training to promote understanding of the impacts of improper bike parking. Responsible behavior in using urban infrastructure contributes to the quality of life of all city residents and promotes sustainable urban development.
Responsibility and joint action
Participation and engagement
Involving the community in the planning and implementation of measures to promote the use of bicycle racks strengthens a shared sense of responsibility and promotes positive coexistence. Citizens can contribute to shaping their environment by actively participating in discussions and decision-making processes and work towards creating a bicycle-friendly infrastructure.
Sustainability and long-term perspective
The sign reminds us of the importance of individual behavior for sustainable urban development. By consistently using bicycle racks, citizens help to facilitate pedestrian traffic, increase safety and improve the urban living environment for everyone. Every contribution to promoting road safety and maintaining public order is a step towards a livable and sustainable city.
