Parking space: Car parking spaces are mainly arranged in small areas, either

set into the hill-side or at ground level. To reduce the parking space needs in the inner courts, a

parking space ratio of 0.8 per apartment was set at Kronsberg. This was compensated for by a 0.2 increase in the ratio for parking spaces on the public streets, which means that they are better used over the day, and the area needed for motorised access in built-up areas is reduced.

Cycle priority layout: A cycle-friendly street layout with a designated cycle street

running the length of the district offers, together with a dense network of rural and urban footpaths, an attractive alternative to private motorised transport.
