Safe roads for cyclists: Höxter starts control on April 30th!

On Wednesday, April 30th, a bicycle control day will be held throughout Höxter, which is dedicated to the safe handling of road traffic. The focus is on frequent traffic violations such as driving on sidewalks and technical defects in the bikes. "Smallest mistakes in road traffic can result in serious consequences!", Emphasizes Markus Tewes of the traffic management and underlines the need for these controls to sensitize cyclists.

The high number of traffic accidents concerned with children and seniors is particularly worrying. With these control days, the police not only want to draw attention to misconduct, but above all increase security for all road users. It is also urgently recommended to carry a bicycle helmet: "This cannot prevent accidents, but can prevent serious consequences!" The police appeal to all bicycle and pedelec drivers to adhere to the traffic rules and thus make a contribution to more safety in road traffic.
