In the city of Bielefeld, the safety of children is a top priority, especially around schools and kindergartens. To ensure a secure environment, several measures have been put in place.

Firstly, it is crucial that vehicles do not hide children or obstruct their view of the road near schools. This helps to maintain a clear sightline and reduce the risk of accidents.

Respecting the entrances to private properties or companies is another important rule. Allowing residents to enter and exit their homes or businesses unhindered is essential for the smooth functioning of the community.

Parent parking spaces are available at Bielefelder schools, reserved for parents driving their children to school. However, it's important to note that these spaces may not always be located in front of the school building. They can be found in side streets or at rear entrances. Using these designated spaces can help alleviate chaotic parking situations at schools.

Reducing traffic congestion around schools is also a key factor in ensuring safety. By doing so, it helps to reduce chaotic traffic situations that could potentially endanger children.

The city has implemented "30 km/h zones" around schools and kindergartens. These zones are designed to protect children, requiring drivers to adhere to the lower speed limit. It's essential to follow these traffic rules and regulations, especially those specific to school zones, to ensure safety for all.

Properly securing all children in the vehicle is another prerequisite when driving them to school. Never take more children than the safety systems available in the vehicle. Walking children to school with other students promotes independence and safer streets around school buildings.

The Bielefeld Police website provides further information on traffic rules and regulations, as well as contact information for the Bielefeld Police Press and Public Relations department for press inquiries. If you need to contact the police outside of office hours for an emergency, their control center can be reached.

It's also recommended to contact local school administrations directly for accurate information about the specific schools in Bielefeld that provide "Elternparkplätze" (parent parking spaces).

If driving a child to school is necessary, plan enough time for the trip and create a relaxed atmosphere. This will help ensure a safe and stress-free journey for both you and your child.

By following these guidelines, we can all contribute to creating safer school zones in Bielefeld.
