 | Berlin Traffic Reviews | 1 - 10 of 14 |  |
I walked back to Tiergarten. A road and transport incident happened with me. Walking across Berlin, it is necessary to watch attentively not to appear unintentionally on a bicycle path which is marked on sidewalk by red color. I have already got used to it, and went legislatively on foot sidewalk when unexpectedly behind the boy was cut into me on a bicycle. Both of us have fallen, and I was put painfully enough. The boy was hurt too, but he was not upset at all, and did not think to apologize. Then I had to state emotionally, what I think of his manner of driving on a bicycle.

Berlin bicyclers can get up to tremendous speed, and follow the traffic signals for cars also. In main street traffic, this is not so difficult to understand, because they have to stop and let you cross just like cars and buses do, but on neighborhood streets for example, one has to really watch for bicyclers. They have the right of way just like cars. Look before you cross the street, just because you don't see or hear a car, doesn't mean you can go. You need to stop for bikers as well and let them pass.
Again be aware of your placement when stopping at corners, walking along, etc. its an interactive thing. Bicyclers are trusting you to keep your path, and stay clear of their designated area. If you do get into a situation where another person is blocking your way to get off a bike path, or a bicycler is having to circumnavigate others, its best to keep your place. Stay still, and let the biker go around you, than you trying to jump out of the way. More likely you will cause an accident that way. Leave a Comment

 Tiergarten district by Maria250
Never, ever stop for a pedestrian unless he flings himself under the wheels of your car."
"D r i v e r s the first parking space you see will be the last parking space. Grab it!"
When it comes to the Berlin p u b l i c s y s t e m, Berlin does have the best subway, - train,-and bus,- transportation. I even tend to say worldwide. It's working almost 24,7. The most stations are very friendly for ppl with disabilities! You can live in Berlin year after year without missing any vehicle. Stick with your bike!
Now, who are the thousand of drivers that "never use directional signals when changing lanes, thinking they only would warn other drivers to speed up and let no one in"? Leave a Comment

I thought Copenhagen had mad cyclists but at least they cycle on designated paths for most of the time. Berliners are experts at cycling on the pavements just about everywhere, including in shopping malls. I found it highly annoying. Leave a Comment

 INFORMATION ON PARKING
METER IN... ENGLISH :-) by matcrazy1
1. check whether you have enough fuel/gas - there were no gas/petrol stations in the centre or I didn't see them; never mind, better not to lose time for looking for them;
2. check your destination (district, street name) and mark your itinerary on the Berlin map necessarily with one-way streets marked (there were few in Berlin :-); altrnatively you can check your itinerary on GPS map while driving if your car is equipped with GPS system, mine wasn't :-( ;
3. have change ready - coins 2 €, 1 €, and/or 0.5 €, street parking meters needed them :-). Parking garages were much more expensive but if no way...
Enjoy :-) Leave a Comment

 LOCKED BICYCLE BY U-BAHN
ENTRANCE by matcrazy1
Follow the locals... if you want. Maybe they know better what to do to avoid problems. Personally, I think it's not necessary to lock the bicycle in this area of Berlin I visited (downtowns/centres) but... just in case. When you rent a bicycle you may ask about insurance against thefts. Leave a Comment

When I came out of the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedächtnis-Kirche I was almost run over by someone on a skateboard and you will also find many people on rollerskates. Leave a Comment

Take care when parking your car. Although Germany is known as a secure country, you can expect that your car can be scratched by drunkards at night or your radio can be stolen at night. So be sure where to park your car and don't feel too secure! Be cautious! Leave a Comment
