Editing Doetinchem (section)

== Transport ==

=== Car Traffic ===
Doetinchem is located along the [[A18 motorway (Netherlands)|A18 motorway]], which has three exits near the city:

* 2: Wehl
* 3: Doetinchem
* 4: Doetinchem-East

The city center of Doetinchem features three parking garages and a large paid parking lot just outside the center, called ''De Varkensweide''. Since July 1, 2006, the entire area around the city center has become a paid parking zone. On Tuesday, July 14, 2015, the Eastern Ring Road (''Oostelijke Randweg'') was opened, alleviating all traffic congestion in the city center. This road is now part of the N315.

=== Cycling ===
Several bike paths lead into the city, which is easily accessible for cyclists. The oldest bridge over the Oude IJssel was restored several decades ago and converted into a cycling bridge.

=== Public Transport ===

* The Geldersche Tramweg-Maatschappij (GTM), based in Doetinchem, was founded on March 2, 1881, and opened its first tram line, Doetinchem – Dieren, on June 27, 1881. This line was later extended on both ends, forming the Velp – Dieren – Doetinchem – Terborg – Gendringen – Isselburg-Anholt route by 1903. Doetinchem was now connected to the outside world by steam tram. A tram station and maintenance workshop were built just outside the old city walls near the former ''Gruitpoort'' (also known as ''Grutpoort''), which has since been demolished. In 1907, the tram line Zutphen – Emmerik opened. The last tram ran on August 31, 1957. The history of Gelderland's public transport is well-documented in the Openbaar Vervoer & Speelgoed Museum (Public Transport & Toy Museum) at Stationsstraat 50 in Doetinchem.

* Since late 2010, bus services in Doetinchem have been operated by Arriva, covering large parts of the city.

* Train services are provided by Arriva and Hermes (the latter under the name ''Breng''). Doetinchem Station is located south of the city center. There is also a second station, Doetinchem De Huet, in the neighborhood of the same name. Until the 1980s, before De Huet Station was built, there was a station called Doetinchem West near the De Hoop neighborhood, toward Wijnbergen. This station was located next to the railway bridge over the Oude IJssel. The former station building now serves as an office.
