Our topic was the road users especially cyclists and there part in the whole traffic. We took this topic, because during we walked the line, we saw everywhere cyclists. Cyclist with different stories. We were looking for the special characteristic of cyclists in different spaces and wanted to know how the traffic does works with bicycle riders. This was our question.

PROCESS

First we walked the line from Altona to Wartenau across St. Pauli, Rödingsmarkt, Rathaus and Mönckebergstraße. We concentrated on pedestrian, buses, cars and bicycle driver because we saw them on the most pictures we took. Especially in Altona there were a lot of cyclists. We chose Altona as our investigation area. Therefor we went again to Altona, where we chose fife different points (S-Bahn Altona, Schell-Pressen-Straße, the beginning and the end of the Große Rainstraße) and took ten minutes long pictures with an interval of 15 seconds. But we also took pictures, without a time limit, which were interesting for us. After this process we choose the most relevant pictures for our topic.

RESULTS

The life on the streets is like a film. Everywhere u can see an act which describes a situation. The picture down for example describes an act. The woman would like to go to the other side of the street. Therefor she has to go across the bus lane. She communicates with the bus driver. According to that the bus driver or the woman stops. One of them can across the street. Sure we have traffic rules and everybody have to follow them. But in some situations, where the traffic have priority, the traffic considerate to the pedestrian and cyclist. Referring to the cyclist: Everywhere you can see bicycle lane. But in some areas you don’t. Therefore cyclist use the same street as the traffic. We noticed that the bicycle usage is actually higher in densely populated urban districts. In districts where the leisure facilities, shopping facilities and more are subordinate. The most probable reason is still, that some roads in Altona are quite narrow. Altona is a crowd district. There is not enough parking and that’s why people prefer using bicycles.

END

After the Workshop in Istanbul, it was a different experience to see how different but also identical two cities can be. On the one hand is Istanbul a big metropolis with a lot of people and an enormous traffic and less green places. On the other hand Hamburg, also a metropolis, where the focus is on green places and the local public transport. In general is the commuting in the space of Hamburg a lot easier as it is in Istanbul. And the most important reason for that are the traffic rules which really works.
