Rosengartenstrasse, running from Wipkingerplatz past the Prime Tower to Bucheggplatz, is one of Zurich’s busiest streets, with over 50,000 vehicles traveling on it daily. It’s been a topic of debate for years – from discussions about a 30 km/h speed limit to previous large-scale projects that didn’t work out.
Now, changes are coming. The city plans to make improvements in 2026 to make the street safer, especially for people walking and biking.
