Abstract
Erfurt in G.D.R. is a typical example of a socialist city in its shaping and in the development of its municipal traffic. Its general transport plan establishes the priorities of local public transport and involves intensive use of the road network, technological transport equipment and environmental traffic management in the city centre. These measures are explained in detail with examples. Further developments are foreseen in the extension of tramways and in the quieting of traffic.
