Transport in Wiesbaden: CDU wants to get the city back in motion!

in Wiesbaden is the order of the day - and not only in a figurative sense. In its most recent general meeting on June 12, 2025, the CDU made it clear that the traffic policy is the main focus of its agenda for the 2026 local elections. Under the motto "We get Wiesbaden back in motion", ten traffic policy theses were decided that promise big plans for the future of the city. The central message: All road users should benefit from the desired changes, while at the same time relying on efficient and environmentally friendly traffic solutions. Wiesbaden Aktuell reports that the CDU focuses on the intelligent traffic control and the reduction of existing restrictions.

But what exactly is on the agenda? The CDU shows clear approaches to improve mobility in the city with digital control systems that are intended to enable more fluid traffic sequences and reduce emissions. A concrete example is the restoration of turning options at the Landeshaus hub. The introduction of uniform speed limits, at 50 km/h on main roads and 30 km/h in residential areas, is also planned. This should not only increase security, but also to optimize the flow of traffic.

Sustainable mobility in focus

But the city is not only planning for traffic on the street. There are also new ideas for cyclists and pedestrians. The CDU wants to promote bicycle traffic with a focus on safe bike connections separated from motorized traffic. According to a survey by the Federal Environment Agency from 2014, 82% of citizens already want less car addiction in the cities. This is hand in hand with the Greens' demands, who also want to reform traffic policy in Wiesbaden in order to reduce noise and air pollution and create more quality of life. [30 projects] (https://30projekte.de/programm/ Transportpolitik-neue-wege-fuer-wiesbaden/) emphasizes that cycling in Wiesbaden is gaining in popularity, also thanks to the spread of electric bicycles.

As part of these measures, the Greens also plan actions such as a “traffic reversal day” with a car -free city center and free public transport. A nice sign that more and more people in Wiesbaden switch to environmentally friendly alternatives. A seamless cycle path network as well as safe crossings and better storage facilities are at the top of the wish list. The goal is to increase the proportion of bicycle traffic from 6% to 15% in the next five years.

a holistic approach

A holistic approach is necessary to promote communication between different transport companies. Step by Step is considered about intelligent links, such as Park & ​​Ride alternatives. Pedestrian friendliness should also be improved by initial measures. For example, it is necessary to keep the sidewalks free of parking bans to make people tasty.

The pressure to replace car traffic with more environmentally friendly alternatives also brings new considerations. The Greens are calling for a truck passage ban and corresponding charging zones for delivery traffic to relieve the city center. This would not only redend the street space, but also bring out innovative logistics concepts such as cargo bikes. The accessibility for people restricted mobility should never be neglected.
