The youth traffic school Zehlendorf not only supports children with festivals, but also with an extensive program on traffic safety. Immediately educated roads, traffic lights and crosswalks are made available in the traffic garden in order to enable practical experience. During the afternoons and during the holidays in the morning, the children can take part in events that include a traffic light quiz, a bicycle breakdown and first aid training. Preparation for the bicycle test is also offered. In addition, there is the possibility to celebrate special occasions such as children's birthdays and schooling in the traffic garden, such as Kinderellicht.Berlin reported.

A program that is particularly emphasized is "Attention Auto", which is aimed at fifth and sixth graders of all types of school. This free offer takes around 90 minutes and is carried out by specially trained moderators. The aim is to convey central dangers in road traffic. The children learn in a playful and interactive way how important it is to take into account safety aspects. The content includes the formula for the stop and practical exercises that encourage students to test their own reactions. Various speeds and road conditions are taken into account here. Distracts from smartphones and headphones are also discussed. Voluntary participants can even experience a full braking at 30 km/h as a passenger in the campaign vehicle, reports ADAC.de .

The events offer a valuable opportunity for children to deal with the dangers of road traffic and to acquire the necessary knowledge in order to be safe in everyday life. The combination of play and learning effects creates an environment in which children can have fun and develop important life skills.
