    Zürich gehört zu den stressigsten Städten Europas für Autofahrer


    https://www.worldradio.ch/news/bitesize-news/zurich-has-some-of-the-worst-traffic-in-europe/

    Laut einer neuen Verkehrsstudie gehört Zürich zu den stressigsten Städten Europas für Autofahrer.

    Das Ranking kombiniert Faktoren wie die Verkehrsdichte und sogar die Häufigkeit, mit der Autofahrer online nach Wegbeschreibungen suchen.

    Je höher der Stressindex, desto schlechter das Erlebnis – und Zürich schneidet schlecht ab, neben mehreren deutschen Städten, die die Liste ganz oben dominieren.

    Autofreundliche Städte wie Innsbruck und Madrid zeigen hingegen, was möglich ist: Eine zehn Kilometer lange Fahrt dauert in Innsbruck dank deutlich weniger Autos und einem reibungsloseren Verkehrsfluss rund zwölf Minuten weniger als in Zürich.

      The number of people who actually studied urban planning, traffic planning or transportation engineering that advocate building „car friendly cities“ is very close to zero. It’s near climate-change levels of agreement.

      They all say we should be moving towards more ÖV, walkability and micromobility.

      Yet, in popular discourse, we constantly have to deal with lobbyists and anti-science people like yourself. Where are you from? Why do you believe you know it better than the experts?

      It’s true and I love it.

      If you fuck up 25000 kg of tram will wreck your car and you’ll get billed for it.

      kinda moot when you can’t demolish a lake, river, hills, or old-town.

      That said, Zurich is far from transport unfriendly and I can’t remember ever thinking something would be easier if I had a car except like moving house which… like the traffic matters then lol.

      Zurich is horrible to drive in yeah. Sadly it’s also not great for cycling, though that’s still the fastest way anywhere usually…

      Oh noo the poor poor drivers, somebody help these defensless people😣😣

      I hope they even make it more stressful. (putting madrid as an example.. seriously?)

      Zurich has excellent public transit so there’s no reason to bring a car into the city. So anything that discourages drivers to bring their car is a win in my book.

      If you come from a place with shit public transit connectivity, drive your car to a SBB Park and Ride and get the SBahn into the city from there. Cheaper and less stressful than doing everything by car.

      I have lived in mega cities abroad where cars are king, public transit is shit, and can guarantee you that we absolutely don’t want that for Switzerland.

      So the Balkans and southern Italy where not included in the study. *Most stressful* lol

      Good, if a driver is scared he will drive more slowly and carefully in turn reducing accidents and the accidents that happen will be less severe

    16. mrmiscommunication on

      lol jesus, the comment section is such a shitshow! holy pepperoni!

      not sure how i feel about the general notion which seems to be „fuck’em“

    20. funky_galileo on

      As it should be. Drivers punish the world around them with noise, pollution, and wasted car parking space. It should be very difficult to drive unless absolutely necessary.

    21. creamandcrumbs on

      True, I hate driving my electric car in this city and therefore only use it, when absolutely necessary.

      As I should!

    22. Helvetic86 on

      Albisriederplatz by car is as close to a near death experience as you can get. Zurich is intentionally an absolut shitshow for car drivers, whether it‘s good or bad is another topic, but I believe this study 100 %.

    23. Brave_Astronomer_237 on

      This article doesn’t source any study from what I can find. As someone who has driven in Zurich and a few other major cities, I’m curious to understand what factors contribute to a “stressful” driving experience in a city.

    24. Different-Budget-964 on

      70% of these drivers gave no good reason to drive around in a car. they make life harder for everyone in the city.

      They wanted to build a Tunnel under Zurich a long time ago but it was denied by the voters. So we have to live with the consequences of the people‘s will.

    27. CommonConversation69 on

      I have some doubt that Madrid is less stressful. I was living there 18 years ago, then moved to Zurich and I felt much safer and relaxed than in Madrid.

    28. followthecrows on

      Not only that.

      Thanks to the green politics, they do not only build bike tunnels for CHF 40 million a pop but also reduce public blue parking spaces for normal people who cannot afford the expensive private parking, like the more affluent.

      Switzerland really teaches one to hate everything about green politics.

    29. Kinda_Quixotic on

      I disagree. I love driving in Zurich or Switzerland in general.

      The people are so much more relaxed here than in the US! People always let you merge, are kind if you make a driving mistake.

      On the other hand, parking garages here are terrifying. There is a veritable rainbow of car paint on the walls of the Migros car park near me. Strikes fear in my heart every time.

      You guys have never been to Brussels, where everything is made to drive you insane

    32. KlausBachbauer on

      I used to drive regularly through zurich and I am 100 % convinced the traffic lights are set up to create traffic jams.
