The effects of climate change on the one hand and several fatalities of cyclists and pedestrians in urban traffic on the other hand highlight more than ever the need of a mobility transformation. This article focuses on the re-design of urban roads and on the usage of speed humps to make cycling and walking safer and more attractive. A key factor in this context is the speed of car-traffic. It has to be reduced significantly to increase safety and feel good of unmotorized road users. When (re)building roads, designing them according to the shared space principle can have a high benefit. On existing roads, however, the correct use of suitable speed bumps can lead to a significant reduction in speeds. When constructing new roads, designing them according to the shared space principle can have a high benefit. On existing roads, however, the correct use of suitable speed bumps can lead to a significant reduction in speeds.
