Traffic

The goal was to make City Nord car-friendly. The site was designed with concentric ring roads to negate any perceived disadvantages to plots in the second row. Because of a planned city motorway to the east, bridges were built along the Hebebrandstraße and the Jahnring. These were, however, never used because the idea was discarded.
The plan included a clear separation of free-flowing and resting traffic as well as pedestrians, bicyclists and motorised traffic. This resulted in the raised walkways (no pedestrian crossings) that now lead over the Überseering. However, the proposal for a new underground line from Hamburg’s main railway station to “Sengelmannstraße” via Uhlenhorst, was not realised.
