Part of an event called Sternfahrt where cyclists protest for policy changes by taking over the city on 20 routes covering 2000 km of public roads.

Can we please get a comparison pic of 32,000 cars on the autobahn?

Wouldn’t it be better to compare 32,000 people in vehicles? Doing really rough math, someone else who doesn’t suck at math should run through it lol. But hand jamming some numbers gives me a bit over 20 miles (32.5 Km) of flowing, 3 lane, 4 person cars to get to 32,000 people. It’s like 9 miles (14.5 Km) with bumper to bumper LA stopped traffic. 50 person buses, bumper to bumper is 1.8 miles (2.9 Km).

32000 people in cars ≈ 32000 cars

Okay, okay, so it’s not literally 1 person per car and is actually more like 1.2 in Germany (see fig. 3) – but it rounds down!

Yeah, probably. But way too many cars are single occupant at any given time.

1 person cars, flowing, would be 80.8 miles (130 Km).
