11 October 2021, Lower Saxony, Hanover: A bicycle traffic light shines red, yellow and green in the early morning on the cycle route into the city centre. According to the Federal Statistical Office, every tenth person in employment rides a bicycle to work. In Hanover, a network of cycle routes is being created as part of the transport turnaround, linking the city districts with the city centre. To this end, individual lanes on multi-lane roads are being converted into cycle-only lanes. Photo: Julian Stratenschulte/dpa
