Police traffic safety advisors from The Hague pay a visit to Boever Markt
The Hagen Police, in collaboration with news aktuell, have announced that they will be providing safety tips for Pedelec riders at the Boeler Market on July 30, 2025. Interested individuals can approach the traffic safety advisors during market hours without prior registration.
The higher speed of Pedelecs can pose a risk due to a lack of riding experience or incorrect estimations. To ensure the safety of all cyclists, it is crucial for riders to safely master their electric bicycles.
The advisors will discuss various traffic safety topics, with a focus on Pedelecs. Some of the likely safety tips that will be covered include wearing a helmet, riding sober and distraction-free, knowing and following local laws, staying visible, and yielding to pedestrians, especially in market zones.
Police and school districts have been partnering to share safety messages, and Hagen Police are expected to engage with the public directly, offering briefings, printed materials, and possibly demonstrations on safe e-bike operation.
For more specific information regarding the event in Hagen, Germany, contacting the Hagen Polizei directly or checking their official website or social media channels closer to the event date is recommended. The Hagen Police can be reached at 02331 986 15 15, via email at [email protected], or through their Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp channels.
