The dangers in road traffic

Such incidents once again draw attention to the dangers in road traffic, especially for the little ones among us. In 2023, a total of 27,235 children in Germany had a total of 27,235 children, as the Federal Ministry of Digital and Transport (BMDV) showed. Tragically, 44 children had to live their lives, 22 of them as pedestrians. These statistics illustrate the urgent need for action in traffic safety, especially in terms of children. The BMDV informs about the importance of education and prevention.

In order to raise awareness of traffic safety, various programs support training measures for parents and children in daycare centers, for example. The German Road Safety Council (DVR) offers a program called "Child and Transport", in which parents are informed, while the "Captain's Blaubär-Verkehrsbring" specifically provides information for the little ones.

Measures for traffic safety

Another example of the efforts to ensure more security in road traffic is the pilot project "People's Transport Garden" in Mönchengladbach. Here kindergarten children learn safe behavior in road traffic in a playful way. Through interactive offers, little ones are brought closer to the importance of traffic education in order to increase their safety in everyday life. There are also school plans for parents and schools that are supposed to make the creation of safe school routes easier for children.

With a variety of initiatives on traffic safety, such as the training courses for child seats, which also address the securing of children in cars, it becomes clear that the safety of children in road traffic must be a top priority. Only through joint efforts can we ensure that children can navigate through our streets more safely.
