NUTRIVATION WEITS WORD OF THE Road Safety in Baden-Württemberg
The nationwide week of traffic safety takes place in Baden-Württemberg for the first time in Baden-Württemberg from July 15 to 2223. Under the motto "Respect in road traffic", various events and actions should draw attention to how important it is to consider each other in road traffic.The Action Week of Road Safety is organized by the traffic safety campaign "Gib eight in traffic", which has existed since 1992 and has the goal of reducing the number of serious traffic accidents in the country. The start of the traffic safety week took place on July 15, 2023 at the garden show in Balingen, where the deputy prime minister, interior minister and patron of "Gib eight in traffic", Thomas Strobl, emphasized that traffic safety work was a task for everyone and could only be achieved through joint action.
It is particularly important to protect children and adolescents on road traffic and to teach them, to take themselves and other consideration, emphasized Minister of Culture Theresa Schopper. It is not just about learning traffic rules, but also a social cooperation in road traffic.
Transport Minister Winfried Hermann also underlined the importance of consideration in road traffic and emphasized that the turnover of traffic could help make mobility more secure for everyone. It is not only about avoiding accidents, but also about aspects such as noise and fine dust pollution. A considerate participation in road traffic should always be the top priority.
Various events take place in various cities of Baden-Württemberg as part of the campaign week. In Heilbronn, an action day on the subject of “senior citizens in road traffic” will take place, while in Karlsruhe with a rollover simulator and a cycling course, the attention is drawn to the road traffic. In Leonberg, young drivers are sensitized at ten stations in terms of traffic safety. Special workshops for vocational students are offered in Leutkirch. In Lörrach, the topic of “parent taxis” is dealt with, while in Mannheim there are lectures and outdoor actions on the topics of noise, posing and tuning.As a flanking measure for the action week, Baden-Württemberg starts the prevention campaign "Rental is gan (s) important!". As part of this campaign, a cinema pot and five social media clips were created, which should raise awareness of all road users to more consideration in road traffic. From July 20, 2023, the cinema pot will be shown in 14 large cinemas in Baden-Württemberg before every cinema performance.
In conclusion,Interior Minister Thomas Strobl emphasized that the topic of "consideration in road traffic" is the focus of the action week and that the state government continues to be a vision of Zero, i.e. mobility without fatalities and seriously injured. The 2022 traffic accident balance sheet that road traffic in Baden-Württemberg is becoming increasingly secure, and that the number of traffic fatalities in 2022 would be around 20 percent below the 2019 pre-corona level. This is an incentive to continue the joint activities.
The first week of traffic safety in Baden-Württemberg is intended to help to raise the topic of traffic safety more into people's consciousness and to achieve even more people.
