The focus on school pathways: Traffic controls reveal 193 violations!
In a comprehensive control period from September 8th to 19th, 2025, the Ordnungsamt Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg carried out targeted measures for school and traffic safety. The main focus of the campaign was on the "school monitoring and holding and parking" to ensure the safe way to school for the children. How reported, were involved in these controls by the traffic surveillance service, the general regulatory service and parking space surveillance, supported by police sections A 51 and A 52.
Daily school controls took place at 14 primary schools from 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. 193 traffic administrative offenses were found, which led to 26 oral warnings and the implementation of four vehicles. Annika Gerold, the district councilor for traffic, emphasizes the importance of the safety of the children on the way to school and thus confirms the urgent need for such measures.
Challenges of school security
Way of school reliability refers to the dangers that children and adolescents are exposed to on their way to school. The risks not only include threats from road traffic, but also violent clashes among students and attacks by adults. Like in Wikipedia mentioned, the way to school varies regionally and is strongly dependent on the local conditions. In 2015, 28,235 accidents with children under the age of 15 occurred in Germany, a significant decline compared to over 1,000 deaths in the 1950s.
The greatest hazard still representing accidents in road traffic. It is noteworthy that the perception of parents and teachers often applies to security in terms of school, but 90% of the parents report that they have experienced dangerous situations. This is from Dguv Supported, which recently found in a survey that 45% of teachers often observe dangerous situations in the school environment.
Regulations and prevention
Traffic education plays a crucial role in the behavioral training of children in road traffic. Recommendations of the Conference of Ministers of Culture from the past decades have requested nationwide traffic education in schools. There are also a variety of initiatives, such as pedibus, in which children go to school in groups to increase security.
The current situation of school security also shows the challenges of the parent taxis. A survey showed that 42% of the parents provide security as the main reason for driving, while 50% of teachers observe dangerous situations through cars in the school environment. The German Society for Accident Prevention (DGUV) also supports the efforts to promote independent way to school, which not only increases traffic safety, but also creates valuable learning experiences for children.
In summary, it can be said that despite the positive developments in recent decades, security remains a central topic on school routes. Continuous controls and measures to raise awareness are required to ensure security for our children and to continue to minimize the risk of accidents.
