Requested to Produce a Record of Nations Yet to Implement Necessary Measures

In an effort to ensure the safety of students on the first day of the new school year, the traffic police of Police Lippe conducted school route checks on August 27, 2025. These checks were carried out at various locations, including the Grundschule Wasserfuhr in Bad Salzuflen and Detmold-Klüt.

During these checks, a total of 122 speeding offenses were recorded, with two drivers using their phones while driving and facing fines and points. At the Grundschule Wasserfuhr, speed cameras flashed 97 times, highlighting the need for increased vigilance.

In Detmold-Klüt, five red light violations were penalized at a traffic light frequently used by children. Moreover, several parent taxis and a teacher were among those driving too fast, underscoring the importance of adhering to the speed limits around schools.

The Police Lippe urges all road users to drive attentively and carefully around schools, especially considering that many children are new to navigating roads independently and may perceive traffic differently. Road users are advised to expect reckless behavior and show great consideration for children on the road.
