Dangerous roads: congregations take security for children seriously!

Dangerous roads: congregations take security for children seriously!

According to a recent report on the highest traffic risks in the Wiener Neustadt district, where he terribly had the highest number of traffic fatalities in 2023, the municipalities reacted immediately. As a result of the "Driving with" series, the focus was on dangerous traffic sections. In Wiener Neustadt itself, the bike path for students abruptly ends at the roundabout, which endangers the security situation. The city administration will now examine the situation intensively, especially with regard to a pace measurement, as the head of office Alexander Spangbauer announced. Similar efforts have also been started in the neighboring municipality of Bad Fischau-Brunn, which was able to significantly improve traffic safety through a new one-way street.

safety measures in focus

In order to increase security around schools, the municipality of Hochneukirchen-Gschaidt has already taken new measures. The municipality of Katzelsdorf has taken a wide variety of steps in recent years to realize the required zebra crossing in front of the state kindergarten. After comprehensive preparatory work, several applications have now been made to the district administration for the approval of a zebra crossing, which has a particularly eye on the safety of the children. In order for pedestrians to move safely across the street, concrete rules must be observed: Pedestrians have priority on the crosswalk, but are encouraged to make sure before crossing the road that there are no dangers, as can be read on Vienna Zuzung.at.

In addition, the Sollenau market town has initiated measures to control measures, including the establishment of soil thresholds and radar monitoring on significant roads. In order to improve the visibility, sidewalking and lane divisors are also installed. All of this aims to ensure the safe crossing of the road not only for children, but also for all road users and significantly reduce the risk of accidents. The importance of these measures should not be underestimated, while the municipalities continue to do everything possible to minimize traffic management and the associated dangers in order to significantly improve the security in their regions.
