The focus: Bavaria starts important measures!

The security of school children has increasingly gained public attention in the past few days. In particular, the measures to improve school security at the “Lübbecker Straße” stop are currently in focus. Yelda Gözlü, civil engineer at the SVH, emphasizes that the safety of the students is top priority. Together with Sabine Hallmann, the chairman of the school nursing, she works on solutions with the responsible authorities. Initial measures are already being examined to take an immediate steps in the near future, reports the Westfalen Blatt .

in Bavaria, where around 1.72 million children attend school in the school year 2024/2025, the topic of school pathway is also intensively treated. The campaign "Safe to school - safely home" was launched, in which Prime Minister Markus Söder and Minister of Culture Anna Stolz also actively take part. Proudly emphasizes the valuable contribution of over 25,000 volunteers and appeals to all road users to take responsibility and to drive considerably. This is particularly important because elementary school students often have difficulty assessing distances and speeds, such as bayern.de reported.

Community responsibility for school pathway

Responsibility for security on school routes is seen as a joint task. Dr. Florian Herrmann from the Bavarian State Transport Wacht points out that no fatal accidents have been able to be recorded in the past 60 years. This balance sheet illustrates the importance of attention and consideration in road traffic. In addition to the presence of school guides, traffic education is also prioritized in schools to prepare children for the dangers of road traffic.

Traffic education in primary school ensures that children can cope with their way to school independently and safely. The imparted specialist and social skills include recognizing traffic signs, understanding of light signals and the correct behavior at stops. These units are supplemented by games and exercises not only to know the children, but also to convey practical skills, such as the dguv

comprehensive measures for security

In order to further increase the safety of the students, great importance is also placed on the cooperation between schools and parents. Information, materials and brochures for teachers should integrate the topics of traffic safety and way to school in class and increase awareness of potential dangers. Modules such as the game "The Little Zebra" promote understanding of the rules in road traffic, while online resources such as the ADAC game for traffic education are also available.

Overall, it can be seen that the guarantee of security is a multi -layered and comprehensive challenge that requires the integration of schools, parents and municipalities. Through the positive experiences in Bavaria, reference can be made to take similar measures in other regions to ensure the safety of the students.
