Police checked cyclists in Stendal: their security counts!

Stendal, Deutschland - On Wednesday morning, the police in Stendal carried out a large -scale control of cycling traffic to increase the safety in road traffic. Around 20 cyclists have already been checked at the transition from the pedestrian zone to Winckelmannplatz. Despite the falling temperatures and the decreasing bike season, the number of controls is high. Special attention is paid to the school paths, whereby the police also issue excuses for late arrivals in the classes in the event of long delays, said police spokeswoman Kim-Marise Krumbach.

The control campaign aims to ensure the safety of cyclists, especially in the dark and smooth season. However, the officials are also at risk: physical attacks are rare, but verbal attacks occur frequently on duty. Even if the wearing of helmets and striking clothing is not prescribed, the police recommend such precautions to increase visibility and avoid critical situations. In addition, e-scooter controls were also addressed to ensure that they are properly insured-"ignorance does not protect against punishment," said police spokeswoman Lisa.
