Until Thursday, the city of Schwedt organizes the campaign "Seeing and being seen - only candlesticks without light" by the AGFS (Working Group for Bicycle and Pedestrian Friendly Cities and Towns) at four schools. The project is allowed in grades 5 & 6. In four modules, the students will be introduced to the subject of visibility in traffic by lighting and reflective materials from different perspectives.
Module 1 "The Black Box" recreates a street at night, showing cyclists with and without light. It illustrates how important lighting is on the bicycle. Module 2 "Bike Check - The Regulations in Brief" introduces the parts of the StVZO that are important for "seeing and being seen". In Module 3 "Repair Course - Tips and Tricks for Self-Help", the students are shown what shortcomings they may have in their bicycle lights and how they can repair them themselves. Module 4 "Being Seen" brings reflective materials closer to the bike that plays a big role in the dark. The functions of the reflective elements are experienced on a darkened wall with a viewfinder with light function.
On Monday the action started at the comprehensive school. "The action was a great success for everyone involved," writes the city in a media release.
