Action on Road Safety Day

A look at the accident figures of the Hessian Statistical Office makes one think: In Hesse alone, an average person dies every week on foot or by bike. It is imperative to better protect cyclists and pedestrians from accidents. Active members of the ADFC Hessen and the VCD draw attention to the fact that the traffic planners of the cities and municipalities must be given more freedom for protective measures by law. In particular, they call on the Hessian state government to abandon its blockade and finally clear the way for an improved amendment to the Road Traffic Act in the Federal Council.
