Stuttgart (dpa / lsw) - Transport Minister Winfried Hermann (Greens) has asked drivers to be more considerate of pedestrians. Hermann said on Friday in Stuttgart that every accident is one too many. "For drivers in particular, this means driving slowly and carefully, always expecting unforeseen foot traffic in built-up areas and being careful when turning." If the cities took more consistent action against illegal parking and reorganized legal parking at confusing intersections, then that would also create more security.
To make people aware of the problems, the Ministry of Transport launched the "Pay attention!" campaign. Among other things, actions are planned in Tuttlingen and Heilbronn as well as on the Internet. In 2021, every tenth road fatality was a pedestrian.
