Schwerin in danger: alert police cuts and cyclists!

Schwerin in danger: alert police cuts and cyclists!

In Cologne, a new development ensures conversation: The cuts in the on -call services of the mobile operational command (MEK) in the State Criminal Police Office not only ensure frowns, but also falter public security. According to a report of the Ostsee-Zeitung fear that missing experts could have an impact on the danger situation after work.

The Ministry of the Interior has decided to switch to a one -year pilot project in which the on -call duty will be deleted. This step is justified with the high level of personnel and is to be assessed at the end of 2026. But while the security situation is discussed, other problems cannot be ignored: traffic safety for cyclists remains one of the greatest challenges in the city.

high number of accidents for cyclists

The bike season is in full swing, and every cyclist should be aware of the risks in road traffic. Last year 180 cyclists were injured in Schwerin traffic, such as the Ostsee-Zeitung reported. In addition, a driver died tragically after overtaking it by a driver in a 30 zone at excessive speed. Such accidents make it clear that mistakes in traffic can not only have painful personal injury, but also fatal consequences.

Some of the most common causes of accidents for cyclists are mistakes when turning, disregarding the right of way and poor cycling infrastructure. At the ADFC Berlin you are also concerned: in 2024, 4,794 cyclists were injured in the capital, including 528 seriously injured. "Errors in traffic should not end the same," emphasizes the ADFC, calling for urgent measures to improve security for weaker road users. The vision zero, the goal of cycling safety, reducing the number of victims to zero remains a long way.

transport infrastructure needs action requirement

The infrastructure is often inadequate in many cities. The BAST-report shows that perception errors and poor bike paths are significant factors for many accidents. The interdisciplinary analysis comes to the conclusion that there are deficits in dealing with cycling accidents that urgently need to be addressed.

structures such as inadequate cycle paths and lack of safety measures on intersections lead to a worrying increase in accidents with cyclists. The ADFC warns that the cycle path expansion in 2025 will be as low at only 17.5 kilometers than it has been in years. So there is a clear need for action to improve safety for cyclists.

While we hope for progress in traffic safety and urban infrastructure, both cyclists and drivers should remain vigilant and show responsibility in traffic. Traffic safety affects everyone, and only together can the trend towards fewer accidents be achieved. A healthy coexistence in road traffic is the key - we should all take a look at this.

In the course of these developments, access to the Schwerin Zoo is also regulated. From July 5, access will be closed by the bistro to prevent unauthorized access. Visitors must then use the main entrance.

At the weekend, there is also a historical show cooking in the Mueß open -air museum, in which old recipes and traditions are presented. This not only offers a nice occasion, but also shows the regional cultural treasure.

We can pay attention to our security and together make the city a better place for everyone.
