New school path portal: This is how we protect the children in Marzahn-Hellersdorf!
The district office Marzahn-Hellersdorf introduced an innovative digital school route planner called "School Way Portal" today on June 17, 2025. This aims to increase the security of school children by creating individual way to school, taking important security aspects into account. The system adapts dynamically to changed conditions, for example when opening new schools or changes in speed limits.
The portal is easily accessible to all families on the Internet and always offers current school plans for all schools in the district. School City Councilor Stefan Bley (CDU) underlined the importance of continuous further development of the portal. The district parent committee, represented by Norman Heise, has contributed valuable information on the planning to take into account the needs of parents and schools.
interactive participation and data use
One of the high -end functions of the “school path portal” is the interactive participation that enables schools and mobility bodies to report danger spots. These reports flow directly into the calculation of the safest way to school. Current information about danger spots, crosswalks, traffic lights and the safest routes are presented on a digital overview map. This is done, taking into account statistical data - for example, in 2022 there were almost 90,000 school accidents that demanded numerous injured and killed. Therefore, the creation of school plans in most municipalities is also required by law and helps parents to identify dangerous bodies and avoid dangers, as Sicherhees-strassen.org reports.
users can choose between the fastest and safest routes. The statistically safest way is calculated taking into account traffic signs, pedestrian crossings and other relevant data. Personal school route cards can also be printed out in various file formats. Thanks to the comprehensive data basis, the system is able to inform users about current dangers and risks.
integration and accessibility
The school path portal uses a Germany -wide danger point card based on police accident data and is supported by various data sources. The integration of cycle paths and Tempo 30 zones into the planning process contributes to the safety of the students. Parents who want to ensure the security of their children can use the tool to plan secure routes and even take into account the traffic conditions on site.
The system requires regular update and, thanks to the registration options of the school community, offers a high level of topicality of the danger information. For families who want to support the planning of safe school routes, the importance of a digital school route planner is becoming increasingly obvious. Many parents are concerned about the street infrastructure, while the school route planner helps to address these worries and make suggestions for safer routes, as mentioned on Sicherhees-strassen.org.
In Germany there are five times as many cars as children, according to the German Children's Aid Work. It is high time that children can handle school independently on foot, by bike or with public transport in order to promote their physical exercise, independence and self -confidence. The digital school planner is a crucial step in this direction by not only contributing to safety, but also supporting parents in planning.
