Traffic calming measures
To uphold its commitments presented in the terms of the College of Aldermen's mission statement for 2023–2029, and in accordance with the objectives set out in the "Onse Mobilitéitsplang fir muer" Urban Mobility Plan, the City has developed a package of traffic-calming measures for three of the city's districts.
Since 7 July 2025, a pilot project has been in place in Merl-Hollerich and Limpertsberg to improve local quality of life by reducing through traffic and lowering the speed limit. Using a series of concrete measures – both regulatory and physical – this programme seeks to accentuate the fact that these are residential districts, eliminating non-local through traffic while ensuring that it remains easy to enter and leave these areas.
The measures grew out of an in-depth study that took account of the current traffic situation, feedback from residents during the Apéritours events, the results of the survey conducted in the process of developing the mobility plan, and the objectives set by that plan. Throughout the testing period, the Service Circulation (Traffic Department) will be monitoring the situation and will make adjustments as necessary. If the results of the pilot project are conclusive, permanent measures will be implemented.
With this pilot project, the City is reaffirming its commitment to having residents' quality of life and safety at the heart of its mobility policies, and aims to lay the groundwork for an urban mobility approach that meets local needs.
