Ensuring safety on the way to school
Service Description
The safety of your child or children's journey to school can best be achieved through cooperation between the administration, police, politicians, schools and you as parents.
Suitable measures, for which other departments (e.g. planning department, civil engineering department) may be responsible, can be selected and implemented on the basis of collected data (police accident type map, development, traffic volume, etc.) and experience.
School route maps, in which hazards and danger spots, which could possibly be used by school crossing patrols, are entered, make it easier to choose a suitable route, which should be practiced early on with children starting school. In addition, safe routes to school are an integral part of the lessons at your child's school. You can contact the police to make use of road safety advice services or to find out more about them.
