Paderborn Police Conduct Annual Cross-Border Traffic Safety Action Focusing on Children's Safety
On Tuesday, June 3rd, the cross-border traffic safety action "sicher.mobil.leben" took place in Paderborn, with a focus on children's safety in road traffic. This yearly event, initiated by police forces across the federal states, aimed to raise awareness about the dangers posed to children in road traffic and to sensitize road users.
The Paderborn police carried out reinforced traffic controls throughout the district, focusing on schools, kindergartens, and routes to them. Officers conducted checks at 24 locations during the morning hours at the start of school and kindergarten.
During the action, a total of 112 violations were detected, including 88 speeding violations. Three violations by or against cyclists were recorded, and nine other offenses were noted. Nine times, vehicle drivers or passengers were found not wearing seat belts, and three times, cyclists or car drivers used their phones while driving.
One of the most notable incidents occurred at a Hövelhofer school, where a vehicle from a nursing service was measured at 70 km/h instead of the permitted 30 km/h, resulting in a one-month driving ban. An Opel driver was also penalised for driving at 66 km/h at the same location.
The motto for this year's action was "Children in sight", reflecting the importance of keeping children visible and safe on the roads. While the specific details about this year's event in Paderborn may not have been widely reported, typical practices in German cities like Paderborn involve awareness programs in schools, increased police traffic monitoring, installation or enhancement of pedestrian crossings, public workshops, and cooperation between local authorities to promote a road safety culture from an early age.
