To increase pedestrian safety, a clear separation between vehicle and pedestrian traffic is crucial. Measures to improve transport, especially near important facilities such as hospitals, are essential. Loud safe-hospital.de Traffic routes should be designed so that pedestrians and vehicles are separated from each other. This not only increases safety, but also makes access easier for emergency vehicles.

Safe access for emergency services is essential and there should always be sufficiently wide access routes. The requirements described stipulate that sidewalks should be at least 1.50 meters wide to ensure a smooth flow of traffic.
