Schleswig-Holstein: Police Gear Up for Safe School Start 2025/2026

The new school year 2025/2026 commences on Monday, 08.09.2025, for many students in Schleswig-Holstein. The Police Directorate Bad Segeberg is preparing to ensure a safe start, especially for the youngest students, with increased speed checks and awareness campaigns.

Parents and children are advised to practice the school route together and avoid peak morning traffic. Dressing in bright or reflective clothing and arranging carpools with other parents can also enhance safety. Children should only cycle to school after passing the bike test in the 4th grade and wearing a helmet. Motorists are reminded to reduce speed and be prepared to brake in residential areas, near schools, and at bus stops. It's crucial to remember that children may not accurately estimate distances and speeds, making them behave unpredictably. A roadworthy bicycle must have two independent brakes, a functioning bell, front and rear lighting, side reflectors, non-slip pedals, and a secure power supply.

The Police Directorate Bad Segeberg wishes all children and parents a happy and safe start to the new school year. By following these tips and ensuring road safety, everyone can contribute to a smooth and secure start to the 2025/2026 school year.
