demand for more traffic safety
The incident again raises questions about the traffic safety of children. In 2023, a total of 27,235 children in Germany crashed in road traffic. 44 children lost their lives, including 22 as pedestrians and 4 as cyclists, such as bmdv.bund.de The numbers make it clear how important preventive measures are to increase the security of young road users.
In order to improve traffic education, the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport supports various programs. This includes a new campaign with Pumuckl, which addresses traffic rules in ten videos. In addition to digital offers such as interactive hidden objects, the "Child and Transport" program of the German Road Safety Council, which offers parent training programs in daycare centers, is also highlighted.
strengthen awareness
Responsibility for security, especially children on road traffic, lies not only among road users, but also among parents and educational institutions. Initiatives such as "Käpt’n Blaubär-Verkehrsbrecht" and the pilot project "Children's Transport Garden" in Mönchengladbach are intended to help raise awareness of safe behavior in road traffic. While the “Blicki looks” program offers information about the dead angle, school plans help parents to plan safe paths for their children.
In view of the current situation, Worms's accident proves to be a worrying example that underlines the urgency of such measures. A safe traffic environment is crucial to avoid further accidents and to ensure the well -being of our children. The commitment of all road users and institutions is required to improve the security standards and ensure that children can safely participate in road traffic.| Details | |
