With the beginning of the new school year on Tuesday, September 10th, an exciting moment is moving closer to many school beginners and their families.

To ensure that children get to school unscathed, the police provide valuable tips. Parents are advised to explore the way to school with their children. Dangerous areas and correct behavior in road traffic should be discussed.
A central point is the use of pedestrian crossings and traffic lights. Schools also use school pilots who can help the children cross streets. In order to increase visibility, children should wear conspicuous clothing and provide school bags with reflective elements. This is particularly important to minimize accident risks.
parents have to make sure that their children cover their way to school without time pressure. Distracts from smartphones can have fatal consequences in road traffic and should therefore be avoided. In addition, it is recommended that children do not ride their bicycles to school during this early days, as they could feel unsafe in the new environment.
Important information on safety precautions
not only the independent locomotion is important; Security in the car must also be guaranteed. When parents bring their children to school or pick up, it is essential to pay attention to the right security facilities. An unexplored seat belt is a significant risk, especially for children. The use of an age -appropriate child seat is also crucial to prevent injuries in a traffic accident.
Special caution is also required at bus stops. These places should never be treated like playgrounds. Children should be asked to keep a secure distance from the buses driving at the stop and never run across the street in front of or behind a stop. Traffic safety is not only a responsibility of the children, but also the other road users who should exercise special caution.
Finally, the Upper Palatinate police emphasized that all road users, in particular at the beginning of school, should be considerate. The safety of our children is close to our heart, and with the right information and behaviors, we can enable a smooth start to the new school year together.
The police wish all students a successful start to the new school year and the beginners of schoolchildren a full school bag!
