Stricter pedestrian security: sleep spamping for Germanysberg is coming!

The safety of pedestrians in Germany is now at the top of the municipal council's agenda. A new urgency application from the Greens & Citizens' List to convert the pedestrian traffic lights at the elementary and middle school was recently unanimously accepted. This is not only the initiators of the application, but also the numerous parents who bring their children to school every day. Deutschlandsberg/c-politik/gruen-per-klint printed_a7352069" Class = "Source_1"> MeinDzeur reports that the existing traffic lights are only active at specified times, which endangers the safety of the students in the afternoon in the afternoon.

The traffic lights, which currently only work before school and after the fourth, fifth and sixth lessons, will soon be converted into a modern system. A need -controlled "sleep -spampot" is planned, which flashes yellow in normal state and changes by pressing a button into the red for car traffic and the Greens for pedestrians. This innovative concept aims to stop the traffic only if necessary and to better protect school children in particular.

More security for all road users

A need -based protection of the road crossing is not only important for the youngest road users, but also for all pedestrians in the city center. Around 600 pupils attend schools in the area every day, and the need to secure them not only during class times, but also afterwards, is obvious. Maria Huber from the Greens & Bürgerliste expressed her joy about the acceptance of the application and is optimistic about the future cooperation with the traffic committee and the responsible authorities.

In other cities like Düsseldorf, a similar system has proven itself. There is a pedestrian traffic light system with a special yellow phase that signals to the pedestrians that they should free the road. About 600 of these traffic lights are in use in Düsseldorf, so that a broad acceptance and positive feedback from pedestrians were achieved 24rhein.de reports .

The development of the pedestrian lights

The first pedestrian traffic light was installed in London in 1869, even if it was only short -lived due to an explosion. In Germany, the first traffic light at Potsdamer Platz in Berlin saw the light of day. The importance of pedestrian lights has increased steadily over the years, whereby current systems and regulations are increasingly ensuring protection for pedestrians such as in Munich. There, the times when pedestrians can surely cross the streets are guaranteed by a careful concept from release and protection times, which is particularly designed for children and older people Stadt.muenchen.de.

The planned conversion of the pedestrian traffic lights in Germany, could thus represent the first important step into a safe future for all pedestrians. Who knows, maybe you will follow the success concept of other cities here and set new standards in the field of traffic safety!
