School route plans published in Mitte: More security for students

The district councilor for school and sport, Benjamin Fritz, recently published the official school route plans on the homepage of the Mitte district office. These plans are intended to help schoolchildren and parents to find their safest way to school and at the same time sensitize them via potential danger spots in road traffic. The school plans are an important instrument for the traffic education of the students and can also be used in the classroom of teachers to teach children at an early stage, read city maps and get to know the school environment.

District City Councilor Benjamin Fritz emphasized the importance of school plans as a possibility for families to choose a safe way to school and thus promote the independent mobility of the students. By creating safe school routes, the district office Mitte also contributes to increasing traffic safety in the region.

It is important that parents and students use the school route plans provided to plan and avoid a safe way to go to school. Through the early sensitization to traffic safety, accidents can be avoided and the mobility of the students can be promoted in a safe way.

In the following table, some frequently occurring danger spots in road traffic are listed on the way to school and possible measures to avoid:

| Danger point | Measure to avoid |
| ——————- | ————————- |
| Crossing without traffic lights | Choose school with traffic lights |
| Enger Bürgersteig | Find alternatives away |
| Construction site | Use redirection |
| Dangerous roundabout | Education by parents |

The school plans are an important step to increase traffic safety for students and make a contribution to mobility formation. Parents, teachers and students are called up to actively use the school plans and to ensure a safe way to school.
