School route safety is best achieved through cooperation between the administration, police, politicians, schools and parents. Suitable measures, for which other departments (e.g. planning department, civil engineering department) may be responsible, can be selected and implemented on the basis of collected data (police accident type map, development, traffic volume, etc.) and experience.

School route maps, in which hazards and danger spots, which could possibly be used by school crossing patrols, are entered, make it easier to choose a suitable route, which should be practiced early on with children starting school. In addition, safe routes to school are an integral part of lessons at school.
