Municipalities in Switzerland and Germany are implementing various traffic and urban mobility changes to improve safety and resident well-being.

In Switzerland, local authorities in Zug have permanently introduced a 30 km/h speed limit on specific axes to protect cyclists and schoolchildren. Additionally, the Swiss Federal Council is reviewing the ‘50-meter rule’ for pedestrian crossings, considering a relaxation of the requirement to use crossings within 50 meters in 30 km/h residential zones.

In Germany, Bernau has implemented a 30 km/h limit and new right-of-way rules in the Planetenviertel district. Meanwhile, Neuburg has launched a trial phase to test a pedestrian zone in its city center, which includes temporary street closures and reduced parking availability as part of an urban development project.
