Police in Hessen are implementing various traffic safety and prevention initiatives targeting youth and school zones.

In North Hesse, authorities conducted the ‘Blitz for Kids’ campaign, monitoring 40 locations near schools and daycare centers. During these speed checks, 1,338 drivers out of 12,622 checked were found to be speeding, a regional violation rate of 10.6 percent. The campaign utilized a system of green and yellow cards to encourage exemplary behavior or highlight misconduct.

Further safety programs include a free bicycle training course for children aged nine to twelve at the Kassel-Marbachshöhe Youth Traffic School. Additionally, in East Hesse, the ‘CrashKurs’ program was launched at Modellschule Obersberg to educate students on the risks of alcohol, drugs, distraction, and speeding through workshops and presentations by emergency responders.
