School route assistants

Stand: 14.02.2025

Accident-free on Erlangen's roads: Everyone can help!


School route services are the best way to get to school

The following applies to all pupils: before and after school is the way to school - whether on foot, by bike or by bus.
School transport services are of paramount importance for safety on the way to school. Where pupils are guided through traffic by helpers, there are hardly any serious accidents.


School route helpers wanted

There is always a need for helpers on the way to and from school to secure the critical points on the way to school - every new helper closes a gap and increases children's safety!
School crossing patrol assistants are trained and instructed by the police traffic educators. When carrying out their duties, they must be clearly visible and conspicuously dressed in road traffic. The appropriate clothing is provided.


Helping, not regulating

School crossing patrols are deployed at traffic lights, crosswalks and traffic crossings to prevent children from carelessly crossing the road. They provide assistance when crossing the road and explain the traffic rules.
School crossing assistants have no police powers and are therefore not allowed to direct traffic.


Compensation for expenses

School crossing assistants receive a small allowance for their voluntary work.
They are covered by statutory accident insurance.


You can help!

If you would like to support the school crossing patrol groups at the schools, please contact the school management or the Erlangen police station.
