Steps Taken for Ensuring Safety in the Transport Industry
Improvements Made to Traffic Situation Outside Kindergarten Ziegelsteinchen
In the heart of Alstaden-Nord, a significant change has been made to the traffic situation outside the kindergarten Ziegelsteinchen on Alstadener Straße. The changes were initiated by city councilor Dagmar Heitmann and her fellow SPD party member, Jutta Kluß, who is also a member of the Alt-Oberhausen district council.
The improvements, which have been successfully implemented, aim to address concerns about the dangerous traffic situation that had been raised by parents, 'parent taxis', and other concerned parties. The measures taken include the installation of bollards at the direct entrance to the Kita to prevent vehicles from parking or stopping in unsafe areas, thereby enhancing the safety of children and pedestrians.
Additionally, the speed limit zone in the area has been extended from 30 km/h to 50 km/h further along Alstadener Straße where the road visibility and conditions allow higher speeds safely. These changes were discussed with parent representatives and the kindergarten management during a site visit.
The municipal traffic department responsible for road safety made the decision and coordinated the installation and signage updates. Other key figures involved in the process include local politicians, such as Heitmann and Kluß, who advocated for the improvement based on community concerns. The daycare management and parents’ associations likely collaborated with officials to find effective solutions.
Jutta Kluß reported that the process of advocating for and implementing the traffic improvements went smoothly. However, the specific measures taken to improve the traffic situation were not provided in detail in the article.
These improvements are part of a wider trend in cities across Germany, where local authorities are working closely with community stakeholders to ensure the safety of children and pedestrians in busy traffic areas. In Alstaden-Nord, the changes have been met with great pleasure by those involved, as the safety and well-being of the children at Ziegelsteinchen kindergarten is now prioritised.
