Giant traffic jams on the beltway

In Paris, today's action Car-free Day caused chaos around the capital. The action, organized for the fourth time, is to raise awareness of the need to take care of the natural environment, mainly clean air. Its effect was gigantic traffic jam on the Paris beltway.

On the outskirts of the capital of France, guards dressed in yellow, reflective vests were setting barriers, only passing buses, municipal vehicles, ambulance, police and firemen, as well as taxis and cars of residents reaching their home. Vehicles could move at a speed of 30, and in some districts even 20km / h. The entry ban concerned motorcycles, scooters as well as electric cars.

The Champs Elysées were closed for traffic and turned into a pedestrian street where numerous cyclists. Roller skaters and people moving on scooters appeared next to the walkers.

According to preliminary data, about a quarter of this day the emission of poisonous gases and micro particles decreased in the atmosphere, and the noise level decreased by twenty percent. However, the commentators are not in agreement with the evaluation of this initiative. Some emphasize its ecological aspect. Others consider it a political marketing - a form of struggle between socialists - supporters of limiting vehicle traffic - and a right wing that opposes it.

The result of today's action were gigantic traffic jam that formed on the Paris beltway and on motorways that run close to the city.

An 88-year-old pedestrian died in accident

It is a neighbor, 88-years-old and circulating without making use of the reflective vest for a path with poor lighting, according to the first investigations. The driver of the involved tourism gave negative in the alcohol tests and drugs that were practiced to him in the place of the facts.

A good start to the new school year

After six and a half weeks of summer vacation, school life starts again today. With the end of this year's holiday in Baden-Württemberg and Bavaria, the holiday season is now over in Germany and the students populate the streets again.

Especially the students who have changed to a secondary school need to get used to new ways to school and requires more attention. The 30s zones set up in front of the schools have to be taken into account. In some cases the pupils are supported by the use of pupils' guides when crossing the street.

First graders start on Saturday

On Saturday, the so-called seriousness of life begins for the first graders. They are particularly vulnerable because they see the traffic from a different angle. They can misjudge distances from vehicles and sometimes forget about traffic, for example when they are distracted by something on the other side of the road.

Therefore, as soon as you see children at the side of the road and behind parked vehicles, you should expect unusual reactions and always be ready to brake.

Everyone probably knows from their own childhood that the Deutsche has equipped the children with orange caps (which made of reflective fabric)for better recognition. These have now been replaced by neon yellow reflective safety vests.

If children are standing at a zebra crossing, please stop them completely and give them a clear hand signal that the children can cross the street.

We wish all students a good start to the new school year.
