Overview
- Traffic Senator Ute Bonde called on Berliners to be especially attentive and considerate toward children at the start of the school year.
- An action day at Tempelhofer Feld taught 220 second-graders from nine schools how to move safely in traffic through playful exercises.
- Education Senator Katharina Günther-Wünsch said the school route should be safe for all children and recommended bright clothing and reflectors for better visibility.
- The event was organized by Bürgerstiftung Berlin as a recurring initiative and took place for the third time.
- Bonde has drawn criticism from the Greens and some SPD politicians as 23 main roads are set to return to daytime 50 km/h under a new air-quality plan that deems many earlier 30 km/h limits no longer justified.
