Dortmund Cycling Highway RS1, Germany / 2024
RS1 is a long-distance cycling highway in the German Ruhr Valley under construction. The total distance of the route will be about 100 kilometers (about 60 miles) long when completed, providing a west-east corridor for cycling through one of the world’s most populous greater urban zones, including cities such as Duisburg, Essen, Gelsenkirchen, Bochum and Dortmund.
Dortmund City Council commissioned Fischer Teamplan to design sections TS7 and TS9. We were asked by Fischer Teamplan to provide input for its designs of this section of about 7 kilometers (4 miles) long. We ensured best practice of Dutch cycling highways ‘snelfietspaden’ or ‘doorfietspaden’ is included in the final designs, helping the future route to reach its full potential.
