Germany needs a national strategy to boost walking as the most basic, quiet and emission-free form of mobility, according to the Federal Environment Agency (UBA). The agency says the potential to increase walking is large because a fifth of all distances covered by cars are shorter than two kilometres. 鈥淧edestrians are a blind spot of transport policy,鈥� said agency head Maria Krautzberger. 鈥淲e need a national strategy for pedestrian traffic similar to those of several other European countries鈥� such as Austria, Scotland, Wales, Finland and Norway, the UBA said. The agency suggests stricter speed limits, steeper fines, and fewer parking spaces for cars and an extension of pedestrian areas in order to increase the share of pedestrian traffic by half by 2030. Some focused on the UBA鈥檚 proposal to eliminate two thirds of all car parking spaces in cities in the longer term to improve the conditions for walking, cycling, public transport and car sharing.
