München: Maffeistraße and Pesrusastraße

Maffeistraße and Perusastraße are a short stretch of tram and pedestrian-only streets on the only surface transit alignment crossing through Munich’s Altstadt Old Town, the largely pedestrianized commercial core of Bavaria’s capital. From the 1960s onward, as planning for a comprehensive S-Bahn and U-Bahn network serving the city's core progressed, most surface transit through the city center was phased out or rerouted around it. The core of the city centre was pedestrianized in 1972 in time for the Olympics, as the S-Bahn suburban train tunnel and the first U-bahn line opened, while surface tram service was removed from the main east-west axis. The secondary east-west transit axis along Maximilastraße survived and was partially integrated into the pedestrian area. As in other schemes throughout Europe, through-traffic was pushed onto the ring roads, while local traffic within the center was organized into separate pockets.

The rest of the corridor within the city center is managed with a mix of mixed-traffic and center-running transit lanes, notably in one direction on a segment of Maximilianstraße, and the intersections with lateral streets are managed via lateral-street-only stops defining a priority corridor.

At the intersection between Maximilianstraße, Thomas-Wimmer-Ring and Karl-Sharnagl-Ring, left turns conflicting with the center-running tramway tracks are managed with an indirect left-turn configured as a Michigan left.
