Police increase checks in front of schools in Saarland: safety for children!
In a nationwide campaign to ensure the safety of children, the police in Saarland have increased their presence in accident-prone areas, especially in front of primary schools. According to a report by the Saarbrücken newspaper Parents and other road users should be made more aware of speeding and dangerous driving maneuvers in front of schools. The day of action, which takes place on June 3rd, aims to increase the safety of students on the roads.
The police will particularly focus on checking so-called parent taxis, as they often represent a vulnerable traffic group. Using cell phones while driving is also considered a risk. The measure comes in the context of a report that says that no child died in traffic accidents in Saarland in 2024, but the total number of children involved in accidents rose to 306, an increase of two percent compared to the previous year.
Traffic accident statistics and measures
The decline in seriously injured people is particularly striking, falling from 37 in 2023 to 32 in 2024, which corresponds to a reduction of 13.5 percent. In contrast, the number of minor injuries rose to 274 (plus 4.2% compared to 2023). In order to further reduce accidents, the police are planning increased checks in front of schools after the day of action. For precise statistics for the past few years, data for the years 2009 to 2024 is provided, which is available as PDF files on the website Saarland Police are published.
However, the traffic accident statistics are not accessible and vary in file size from 384KB to 3MB. This information is crucial for the analysis and prevention of road accidents that primarily affect children and highlights the need for continued action to improve road safety.
In summary, the action on June 3rd shows that the police in Saarland are taking a proactive role to ensure the safety of the youngest road users and to draw attention to the challenges of road traffic.
