Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis Police Educate First Graders on Zero Traffic Deaths Day
The Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis Police Department marked Zero Traffic Deaths Day on September 18, 2025, with a special focus on educating the region's youngest road users. Each first grader received a bright red, reflective cap, donated by the local traffic safety council, to promote visibility and safety on roads.
To drive home the importance of traffic safety, Police Officers PHKin Sonja Vatheuer and PHKin Alexandra Kovacs visited Gennebreck Elementary School in Sprockhövel. They taught first graders about safe street crossing and helped them identify potential hazards along their school route to the church in Herzkamp. The children also learned about retroreflective materials and the significance of being visible in traffic, especially during darker months. The goal is to achieve no traffic fatalities in the Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis and the entire state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
The Ennepe-Ruhr-Kreis Police Department's initiative, supported by the local traffic safety council, aims to create safer roads by educating children and promoting visibility. The reflective caps serve as a reminder for both children and drivers to prioritize safety on roads.
