Parent taxis in Delmenhorst: Schools fight for safe routes to school!
The new school year begins in Delmenhorst: safety measures against parent taxis at schools to promote safe routes to school.
Parent taxis in Delmenhorst: Schools fight for safe routes to school!
In Delmenhorst the motto is “school is in” again and that has been the case since last Thursday. The students in Lower Saxony and Bremen have grabbed their school bags and are looking forward to new adventures in the classroom. But while many make their way to school by bike, scooter or on foot, there is one challenge that keeps cropping up: the infamous “parent taxis”. These not only bring children, but also represent a source of danger, especially at the region's primary schools. Again Weser courier reports, the inconsiderate parking behavior of some parents at the Hermann Allmers School is causing concern.
Hendrike Rehbein, the principal of the school in question, has reported numerous incidents in the past. Parents stop at bus stops or park on sidewalks, which not only disrupts traffic flow but also endangers the safety of children. This is also reflected at the Deichhorst elementary school, where parent taxis clog Kantstrasse and block entrances. Despite regular speeches, the problem could only be temporarily defused.
Measures to improve security
The police have also promised to monitor the situation regularly to increase the sense of security of students and their parents.
Another project that the support association supports is the “School Express”. This is a joint transport service that is intended to ensure that children have a safe and organized route to school.
A warm welcome to the first graders
A special day is coming: On Saturday more than 100 new first graders will start school at Deichhorst elementary school. The children are very excited, and the mascot “Pa” also receives a warm welcome on Kantstrasse. It remains to be seen how the new school year will go under the current conditions and whether the joint efforts of the school community are fruitful.
For further information about digital solutions that can also ensure more security and organization in this context FASTSIGNS various digital signage solutions. For example, these tools could be useful not only for informational purposes in school environments, but also to help better manage traffic flows in front of schools.
