Safety for students: circulating grid protects at a dangerous place in Jever

In Jever, a circulation grille was installed on Dannhalmsweg, which is primarily intended to protect students at the Paul Sillus primary school. The reason for this measure was a tragic accident in which a nine-year-old student was hit by a bus. In order to avoid similar incidents in the future, Klaus Janssen from the Feldmann company installed the grille on Friday morning. This is intended to prevent young cyclists from riding unbraked from the sloping sidewalk directly onto the street, which represents a significant source of danger. As the NWZ Online reported that the installation was delayed due to the required order.

The Paul Sillus Primary School is not only a reliable primary school, but also an open all-day school that offers children comprehensive care. Classes are held from 7:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and for all-day care, students can stay until 3:30 p.m., with lunch and various activities offered. These selectable activities range from sporting to playful and artistic offerings and offer students the opportunity to develop in a variety of ways. The school is run by the city of Jever and bears the name of the former mayor Paul Sillus, whose memory is honored here, as is the case Friesland educational region highlights.

Safety in traffic

The traffic situation in front of schools is an important issue, especially with regard to the safety of school children. Statistics show that accident rates on the way to school tended to decline from 2004 to 2020, particularly due to increased traffic safety measures and the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a decrease in accidents. According to a report by the Research Information System, school start times are particularly responsible for increased traffic volumes, which often leads to stressful situations and accidents. Increased mobility management and traffic education measures are crucial to further improve safety on school routes. The Research information system emphasizes the need to combine traffic regulations and structural measures to ensure a safe environment for students.

Overall, the new installation of the circulation grille is perceived as a positive step in the right direction. Both parents and teachers hope that the measure will provide more safety for children on their way to school. The combination of preventative measures, a solid primary school and a good traffic concept creates a better overall basis for the children in Jever to grow up safely.
