"New Installment of 'Maintain Distance, Act Equitably' Campaign - 2504115"

The Police Headquarters Mettmann has launched a new road safety campaign titled "Stay fair, keep your distance!" to reduce dangerous situations involving cyclists. The campaign, which began this week, will see eye-catching green posters displayed in urban areas across the district, including Erkrath, Langenfeld, and Monheim.

The posters, which will be visible on particularly busy roads with both motor vehicle and bicycle traffic, will remain in place from April 28 to July 20, 2025. In addition to the posters, stickers with the campaign motif will be attached to municipal vehicles and police vehicles.

The campaign is supplemented by short films on various topics related to road safety on the district's social media channels, including Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. For more information and videos, visit the district's website at www.kreis-mettmann.de under the keywords "actions for more road safety".
