Pede­strian faci­li­ties

Pedestrians are in particular danger on the roads. In 2015, pedestrians accounted for one in six fatalities among road users. Around two-thirds of them were killed in accidents in built-up areas. They are most at risk when crossing roads and at intersections. Traffic lights, zebra crossings or central islands can improve the safety of pedestrians when crossing the road, depending on the local situation and the design and layout of the road. In addition to these one-off measures, safe networks of paths that can be used by all pedestrians must be created, particularly in built-up areas.

Road safety in traf­fic-cal­ming zones

Traf­fic-cal­ming zones (some­ti­mes refer­red to as "living streets"), iden­ti­fied by road sign num­ber 325 in accor­dance with the Ger­man Road Traf­fic Regu­la­ti­ons (StVO), were intro­du­ced in Ger­many in 1980.

Safety of zebra cros­sings

Pede­strians are in par­ti­cu­lar dan­ger on the roads. Pede­strians account for one in seven fata­li­ties among road users. They are most at risk when cros­sing roads and at inter­sec­ti­ons.

Safe inter­sec­ti­ons for young and old

Child­ren, senior citi­zens and peo­ple with limi­ted mobi­lity are often dis­ad­van­ta­ged and at risk on the roads due to their phy­si­cal and cogni­tive limi­ta­ti­ons, in par­ti­cu­lar when they are on foot or cycling.

Dia­go­nal cros­sings

They are very unu­sual in Ger­many – but more often seen in some other coun­tries: inter­sec­ti­ons at which only pede­strians can cross the road dia­go­nally when they have a green light (dia­go­nal cros­sings).
