In the Lippe district of Germany, the Lippe Public Safety Office conducted a series of traffic checks around schools and kindergartens on May 3, 2025. The checks, which focused on the driving behaviour of adult road users in the "School" protected zone, aimed to ensure the safety of children in the area.
The news about the traffic checks originated from Police Lippe and was transmitted through news aktuell. During the checks, a total of approximately 400 vehicles, including cars and bicycles, were inspected.
Sadly, the results showed that some drivers were not adhering to the rules designed to protect children. Seventy-nine speeding violations were recorded, and two cases of running red lights were identified. More concerning, fourteen cars were found to have non-functioning child safety features, and ten cars had child safety features but they were not being used.
Two cases were also reported where parents used their mobile phones while driving their children to school, which is a clear breach of the rules. In one instance, a driver was clocked at 61 km/h in front of a daycare center in Augustdorf. The vehicle was found to have false license plates and was uninsured.
