Visibility increased: Brühler children receive reflective warning vests!

In an important initiative to improve the security of school children in Brühl, the students in class 1c of the Astrid Lindgren School received new reflective warning vests. This handover took place recently and was accompanied by several prominent personalities, including the mayor Dieter Freytag and the member of the state parliament Gregor Golland.

particularly highlighted is the fact that the handover fell at the beginning of the new school year, while the darker season begins. In the early morning hours and at dusk in the afternoon, the risk of traffic accidents increases, which makes this measure particularly relevant. In order to increase the safety of the children on the way to school, the warning vests should ensure that they are clearly visible even in difficult lighting conditions.

The reflective vests are more than just one fashion statement. They are a simple but effective means of increasing the visibility of children in road traffic. Especially during the dark seasons in which the visibility are difficult, it is crucial that drivers and other road users can recognize the children in good time.

A factor that is often overlooked is that the warmer months can also bring their own dangers with them. In the event of sudden changes in weather or when children switch from sunny to shady areas, the West can also ensure additional security.

Mayor Freytag thanked the sponsors of the campaign, the REVG Rhein-Erft-Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH and the Kreissparkasse Cologne, which have covered the costs for the warning vests. He emphasized the importance of such initiatives that not only increase the safety of the children, but also raise awareness of traffic safety in the community.

This action sets a strong signal: it is necessary to take simple measures to ensure the safety of children in road traffic. The warning vests are therefore not only regarded as a practical exercise to protect children in schools, but also as a valuable memory of the responsibility that every road user bears.

Overall, the handover of the warning vests shows that it is important to the city of Brühl to ensure the safety of youngest citizens. This measure could serve as a model for other communities that have similar challenges in the traffic safety of their schoolchildren.
