A Protected Bike Lane to Be Built on Nagykörút
In the coming years, cycling on Nagykörút will become safer and more comfortable. A new project initiated by the Budapest Transport Center (BKK) aims to create a wide cycling corridor between Nyugati Square and Boráros tér.
After the renovation, the street will become greener, more pedestrian-friendly, and more attractive for businesses. The bike lane will be physically separated from car traffic, ensuring an uninterrupted and safe passage for cyclists.
🔹 Protected Bike Lanes – A bike path at least 2 meters wide will run between the parking area and the sidewalk, with enough space to prevent accidents caused by car doors opening.
🔹 Organized Parking – The project will introduce bike parking, Bubi stations, designated loading zones, and parking spaces for people with disabilities.
🔹 Safe Intersections – At side street crossings, raised speed bumps will be installed at sidewalk level, forcing vehicles to slow down when turning.
🔹 Greening and Urban Improvements – Pedestrian areas, tree-lined walkways, and new urban elements will be added along the cycling corridor.
Meanwhile, tram line 4–6 will maintain its priority status, and the locations of bus stops and night routes will remain unchanged.
The design phase will be completed by 2027, with construction planned in stages between 2028 and 2029.
