 Car parking spaces are mainly arranged in small areas, either
set into the hill-side or at ground level.
 To reduce the parking space needs in the inner courts, a
parking space ratio of 0.8 per apartment was set at Kronsberg.
This was compensated for by a 0.2 increase in the ratio for
parking spaces on the public streets, which means that they
are better used over the day, and the area needed for
motorised access in built-up areas is reduced.
Cycle priority layout:
 A cycle-friendly street layout with a designated cycle street
running the length of the district offers, together with a dense
network of rural and urban footpaths, an attractive alternative
to private motorised transport.
