Change at the top: Verkehrswacht Ostallgäu with new chairman!

In an exciting change at the head of the Ostallgäu Süd area traffic guard, Clemens Herz was elected as the new chairman. After four years, Johannes Stoll hands over the scepter, while the former police chief of Pfronten, Thomas Zeidler, retains his position as a treasurer. This decision was made unanimously at the annual meeting, where the future goals of the traffic watch were also outlined. According to Stoll, the primary motto of the association is: "If our activity only kills less in road traffic, our work has paid off." One central goal remains the safety of the pupils in the Füssener Land with special offers at primary schools, such as support for the acquisition of bicycles for schoolchildren in Halblech, such as Allgäuer Zeitung reported.

training project for people with handicap

On May 11th there was a pioneering event in Halle (Westphalia): The premiere of the new project "Road safety training for people with a handicap", which was initiated by the members of the traffic safety working group of the Gütersloh district. On the occasion of a wish for more security when crossing the streets, the participants trained both theoretically and practically how they can move better in road traffic. Mayor Thomas Tappe and police chief commissioner Heiko Patzelt stood by the participants during the training. In addition, the district plans to bring safe cycling closer to the cycling employees with a handicap in future training, such as reported.

Both initiatives show the commitment to improve traffic safety in the region and address target groups that are often overlooked. While the Ostallgäu traffic guard is particularly focused on the youth, the new project of the Gütersloh district ensures that people with handicap can also be safe on the road. The success of these programs will be crucial for future security measures in the region.
