Security on the way to school is an important topic that has recently attracted special attention. As part of the "Attention, school path!" So far, over 600 information about danger spots from Stuttgart have been received. This not only illustrates the existing problem, but also the active participation of the community in this important area.

The campaign, which is supported by a general public, including parents and teachers, shows an urgently shows where the risks for children lie on their way to school. Using a user-friendly online form, citizens had the opportunity to share their experiences and observations that are active throughout September. It is encouraging to see that people are ready to get involved to improve the safety of the children.

frequent sources of danger

The information received gives a clear overview of the greatest concerns of the district residents. It is particularly alarming that, of almost 200 reported areas, excessive speed was recorded as a security risk. An example of typical feedback from Stuttgart-Ost reads: "Children are waiting for zebra crossings, drivers just drive over it without paying attention to the children." Such situations are not only harmless, they can also end at certain moments.

Another frequently mentioned problem are rushed roads that severely restrict the field of vision of the children. In Birkach, residents of Vans reported that park on the crossing, which means that children cannot really overlook the road. In Feuerbach, too, parents are concerned about the narrow sidewalk, which is often blocked by parked cars. These everyday dangers make the way to school a stress factor for children and parents alike.

It is also worth mentioning that, according to the State Statistical Office, 222 children between 6 and 14 years of age had an accident on the way to school last year. Many of these incidents happened in the first weeks of school. Therefore, the current action is not only sensible, it is also urgently necessary to reduce such numbers.

a holistic approach

The participation campaign is not just a field of action, but part of an extensive project for school pathway. The Ordnungsamt of the City of Stuttgart will check the submitted messages and initiate possible improvements. Some of the first 600 information has already been preserved and show that there is already a need for action. The initiative not only ensures more security, but also actively moves the city administration into the process.

Furthermore, a number of articles and a panel discussion in the Merlin cultural center are planned in Stuttgart-West. These events aim to strengthen awareness of the topic and to develop solutions. The feedback from citizens is important - not only as the basis for future articles, but also as an impetus for specific measures on the part of the city.

If you also know dangerous places on school routes, do not hesitate to report them using the online form. Participation is anonymous and simple. Your voice counts and could make a decisive contribution to improving the pathway.

The Correctiv research network supported "Attention, school!" Shows impressively how parents, teachers and residents can actively contribute to improving the security of our children.
