In the dark season, darkness, rainfall and cold, combined with difficult road conditions, harbor many dangers. All road users are particularly required. Pedestrians and cyclists are often difficult to recognize. Motorists are more difficult to drive through reflections or missing all-around visibility.

The appeal to pedestrians and cyclists: Make yourself visible! It is best to wear a reflective vest with reflective tapes. For drivers: Make sure at all times whether their vehicle, from the bike to the truck, in the technically perfect condition and the current winter conditions are adjusted. Wearing a bicycle helmet protects against serious head injuries. In a week since Saturday, the police have recorded eight traffic accidents in which cyclists were slightly injured.
