Different network structure: radials in the east vs. Ring system in the west after the unification of the divided city

The superordinate road network of Berlin is a categorization of the streets in Berlin . The sovereignty of the main road network of categories I to IV rests with the State of Berlin, similar to state roads in other federal states, while the secondary roads are administered by the districts .

The Senate Department for the Environment, Transport and Climate Protection (SenUVK) bundles in Department VI Traffic Management for the State of Berlin all positions and activities that regulate the flow of traffic on Berlin's main road network. On January 1, 2020, it took over the tasks of the former subordinate authority Verkehrslenke Berlin (VLB) and the highest road traffic authority. The road traffic authorities of the districts are responsible, among other things, for stationary traffic and for traffic on secondary roads.

The current traffic information is controlled by the Berlin traffic information center (VIZ), part of the SenUVK. The VIZ is operated by VMZ Berlin Betriebsgesellschaft mbH , a wholly owned subsidiary of Siemens Mobility . The road planning in the higher-level road network follows the guidelines for integrated network design (RIN) and is recorded in the separate urban development plan StEP Verkehr . The current urban development plan for traffic has been available since March 29, 2011 and concerns the existing and planning of the road network until 2025.

The assigned streets in the superordinate street network of Berlin are available in the Geoportal Berlin (FIS Broker) published by the Senate Department for Urban Development and Housing . The street sections are not grouped into higher-level traffic routes with their own numbering, but remain as around 40,000 individual data records.

Categories

The classification is based on the connection function levels that are derived from the guidelines for integrated network design (RIN or RAS-N ). Berlin has a multicentric structure that follows its historical growth in line with the incorporations , which in 1920 were in part large cities themselves. The center structure is listed in a separate urban development plan for centers . Depending on the connection between these centers and sub-centers, the main road network is assigned corresponding connection function levels. A hierarchical node plan with different levels follows from the connection function and the traffic route category.

Category I large-scale road connection:
are connections between main centers in the region and the central areas Mitte and City West

Category II superordinate road connection:
according to RAS-N, supra-regional / regional road connections are defined as connections between main district centers and special intermediate centers, connections of these centers to the streets of level I, connections of connection points of the large-scale traffic system (airports, long-distance train stations, ports) or traffic volumes with more than 50,000 vehicles / day.

Category III local road connection: defined
according to RAS-N as an inter-community road connection, are connections from other medium-sized centers and sub-centers or districts with the main and special medium-sized centers, connections between the other medium-sized centers and sub-centers or districts, connections to connection points of the regional transport system (regional train stations, P + R facilities), streets with traffic volumes of more than 25,000 vehicles per day.

Category IV supplementary
roads : referred to as area-covering road connections according to RAS-N, are connections and developments of residential and commercial areas as well as industrial areas and those with the inclusion of road-bound public transport (trams, buses)

Other
In comparison with other federal states, "Category I" corresponds to the federal highways , "Category II" to the state roads , "Category III" to a district road and the equivalent to Category IV are local roads .

In the Berlin street list, a “StEP category V” (side streets, as “not categorized”) is included for other dedicated streets not included in the urban development plan. In addition to these categories of the Berlin system created for responsibilities in road construction, the municipal plans and their importance in the traffic system, there is a classification of the Berlin streets in the "Regional Reference System" (RBS) of the FIS Broker Landeskartenwerk Berlin, which are subordinate to the OKSTRA system .

  • Road classification according to RBS: for example STRA (road), PSTR (private road), STFO (forest road), VWEG (connecting route), PLAT for spaces. Since other objects are recorded in the RBS, there are classes such as parks (PARK), green spaces (GRAL), allotment gardens (KGA), bridges (BRUE), forestry office (FOAM) or footpaths (FUWE).
  • In order to adapt to the nationwide OKSTRA system, Berlin's streets are also listed with OKSTRA classes. This subdivision includes those such as A for motorway, B for federal highways, G for municipal roads, F for pedestrian properties (here also parks), P for private areas (such as KGA) and in particular classes N and X for objects that are excluded in certain plans.

The district road traffic authorities are responsible for secondary roads in the subordinate road network. Traffic control in Berlin is generally responsible for traffic measures in the higher-level road network (main roads). The road traffic authority acts in close cooperation with the district road construction authority (civil engineering office) and the traffic service of the responsible police department.

history

The first urban development plan traffic (StEP Verkehr 1.0) was drawn up in the years 2001 to 2003 (with progress reports January 2006 and June 2008) and had a target horizon of 2015. Since then, the amount of road traffic in Berlin has been declining. Changes in the superordinate road network of category I and II only occurred as a result of new federal routes such as the extension of the A 113 to Adlershof (2004) and Schönefeld (2008).

The second urban development plan for traffic (StEP Verkehr 2.0) will bring about few adjustments in the higher category - this includes the extension of the A 100 beyond Ostkreuz , which is currently under construction , and the planned road connection from the existing connection to the B 2 to the Alt-Karow / Bahnhofstrasse junction in Karow-Nord , as well as the middle section, which is in the planning stage, Tangential Connection East between Wuhlheide and B 1 / B 5 .

Center areas

The urban development plan centers names two central areas for Berlin:

  • Central area historic center : Alexanderplatz, Friedrichstrasse, Potsdamer Platz and
  • Center area City West : Zoo, Kurfürstendamm, Tauentzienstrasse, Wilmersdorfer Strasse.

These are regional centers and are connected over a large area in terms of spatial development.

The urban development plan names centers among those included in the two center areas

These are medium-sized centers in terms of spatial development and the higher-level planning area.

District and district centers that supply the 96 districts of Berlin are of secondary importance.

List category I: Large-scale road links

Below is a list of the streets in Berlin in this category. According to the big city situation, some of these traffic routes lead through several districts. On the other hand, there is no direct connection between street name and categorization, so that some of the streets listed only belong to the corresponding category in part.

Road network category I (red)

List Category II: Higher-level road connections

Below is a list of the streets in Berlin in this category. According to the big city situation, some of these traffic routes lead through several districts. On the other hand, there is no direct connection between street name and categorization, so that some of the streets listed only belong to the corresponding category in part. Locally separated streets, which are mentioned in this category, have been included in the list several times with different district details. The traffic planning of the road development plan was drawn up in 2011 for the existing network, the planning for 2025 takes into account the capacity utilization expected for the next few years. With the current changes to the road network through expansion and new construction on and around roads, the categories are updated.

Remarks

  1. ↑ Senate Department for the Environment, Transport and Climate Protection : Facts and Figures on Transport - Mobility of the City - Berlin Transport: Motor vehicle traffic : “The Berlin road network has a total length of around 5,400 km. The control of this very complex system requires careful planning so that the motor vehicle traffic required for the city can be handled as smoothly as possible, but also in a city-friendly manner. New roads built in recent years have been accompanied by regulatory measures such as the designation of Tempo 30 at night on selected sections of the main roads and the expansion of parking space management in the city center. In Berlin, there are 164 km of main roads, depending on the direction, on which the speed limit is 30 at night for noise protection reasons. In addition, there are another 372 km, which are usually 30 km / h during the day for safety reasons. This means that 17 percent of Berlin's main road network is limited, at least temporarily, to 30 km / h. "
