Speed limit of 30 for more safety: protect students in Radeberg!
The safety of children is now the top priority in Radeberg. On September 29th, 2025, the public order office set up a new 30 zone on Ullersdorfer Hauptstrasse, which applies from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. This measure is intended to make it easier for students at Ullersdorf elementary school to cross the street. Especially since the school buses no longer stop on the village street, more traffic is caused by the children who have to get to school safely. The new speed limit helps to noticeably increase safety in this area, as diesachsen.de reports.
The introduction of the 30 zone is part of a larger trend in many German cities, where 30 km/h zones not only reduce speeds, but also improve the living environment and quality of life of residents. According to adac.de, these zones are mainly found in residential areas and away from main roads where through traffic is low. In addition to reducing speed, they are primarily intended to offer pedestrians and cyclists more safety.
The role of school helpers
But it's not just the speed limits that play a role. School route helpers actively help ensure that children can cross the street safely. These helpers are urgently needed and can volunteer flexibly. Those interested can register directly at primary schools or by email ordnungsamt@stadt-radeberg.de offer. The training is carried out by citizen police officers and there is a small allowance for expenses per deployment.
Speeding is also monitored by the public order office, which means the rules can be enforced directly to ensure the safety of children. Further information on compliance with the rules in 30 km/h zones can also be found on platforms such as adac.de, where, among other things, fines for speeding are listed.
An important step for the community
The new 30 zone is therefore not an isolated step, but rather part of a comprehensive concept to improve traffic safety. The measures not only benefit the students, but also contribute to the general calming of traffic on Ullersdorfer Hauptstraße. This also includes structural measures that can be taken to further reduce speed.
Overall, with this initiative, Radeberg shows that it attaches great importance to the safety of the youngest road users. The combination of traffic calming measures and dedicated school helpers will help ensure that children can get to school safely.
