The police regularly check schools and nurseries to make sure that people are not driving too fast in these areas. That is a good thing. And unfortunately it is also necessary because parents, along with other road users, do not always follow the instructions.
However, things become more difficult when a corresponding facility such as Kita Moorkamp is located on a street where the speed limit is 100 km/h. Yes, Moorkamp 2-4 is indeed known to be the official address. However, the outdoor area is much closer to federal street than to the much quieter Moorkamp street. So, let’s leave the subject aside, it doesn’t help the matter.
The reason is that the safety of girls and boys is very important. “It is not the child who should accept the environment. “We should change the environment for the child,” said the Italian doctor, reform educator and philosopher Maria Montessori. The woman was born in 1870 and it was right today. The fact that the representatives Kita Moorkamp’s parents have accepted the issue of safety and gone public with it worthy of respect.
The statements from Straßen.NRW (“We are currently investigating the extent to which speed reduction will be achieved.”) and administration (“The city of course understands the concerns of the school- nursery and is currently exploring possible solutions.”) also beneficial to the majority of citizens It would be difficult to understand that legal requirements prevent restrictive speed limits – and that accidents must first occur before mitigation measures can be taken.
Common sense looks different. We hope that Straßen.NRW and the city will be successful in finding possible solutions. There is no doubt that action is needed here. A speed limit would be very successful and provide more safety.
There is no question that a federal highway is still dangerous at 70 or 50 km/h. The support raised by these parents would not change. Halterner Straße is and is a dangerous area just because of the amount of traffic – especially for small children.
