School road safety

  • Service description

    Children are among the most vulnerable road users and therefore deserve our special consideration. Primary school children - especially those starting school - are particularly at risk on the roads. Road accidents often occur because children are not yet able to cope with the demands of today's traffic conditions. Although travelling safely to school is an integral part of school lessons, it should be practised with children at an early age. Caregivers should always set a good example and observe the traffic rules - even as pedestrians - because children learn more from their exemplary behaviour than from constant reminders and admonishments.

    School travel plans are drawn up in the schools, and bus, pupil and parent guides can be set up.

  • What else should I know?

    Road safety education at school takes place in cooperation with the Hesse Road Safety Organisation and the Hesse Accident Insurance Fund (UKH). As the statutory accident insurance provider, the UKH is responsible for accidents on the way to and from school.
