During the workshop, participants from various disciplines, including Architecture, Traffic Planning and Environmental Engineering, will be looking at specific traffic situations in Weimar, including: Goetheplatz with its high traffic volume of buses, cars, pedestrians and cyclists; Humboldtstraße with its complicated intersection; and August-Frölich-Platz with its confusing pedestrian crossing. The groups have been asked to analyse the current traffic situation, identify shortcomings, and contribute ideas for improvement. The primary focus should be on road safety and striking the right balance between the various requirements for the roads.

About the Workshop
The »City & Traffic« workshop takes place every year at one of the participating universities (Prague, Belgrade, Vienna, Krakow, Vilnius, Žilina, Maribor, Győr and Weimar). Now in its 27th year, the workshop has invited 35 students from seven of the participating universities to work together closely in Weimar. This will not only generate innovative ideas for local traffic, but will also foster professional and personal networks for the participants and their future careers. The project also supports European cooperation between the participating universities.
