Expert support for the ORF district traffic concept

“The residential area between Münzgrabenstraße, St.-Peter-Hauptstraße, Brucknerstraße, Petrifelderstraße, Karl-Huber-Gasse and Liebenauer Tangente still has an increased volume of motorized individual traffic (MIV) despite some traffic calming measures, such as the bicycle lane in Marburger Straße and the drive-through barrier. Furthermore, several urban development projects are expected in the area’s immediate vicinity in the future, which could have an impact on traffic in the Harmsdorf-ORF district.” [© 2026 City of Graz]


Last year, work began on developing a traffic concept for the Harmsdorf – ORF quarter residential area, including two surveys. PLANUM was represented in the project team during this process to provide technical support. In addition to consultations and the development of possible variants, PLANUM also carried out the traffic counts and the modeling of the different variants in the area. PLANUM was also represented at the two planning exhibitions in mid-January 2026 to provide information on the traffic-related background.

We are delighted to have been involved in this exciting project!
