New international study of "Clean Cities" ranks Sofia as the riskiest city for children's mobility in Europe. The main criteria are the condition of streets, bike lanes, and vehicle speeds around schools.

According to the analysis of "Clean Cities", Paris is determined to be the safest city for children in Europe, while Sofia occupies the last 36th place in the ranking. Official statistics confirm the alarming data - in 2022, 34 children were hit by cars or motorcycles on sidewalks and streets in the capital, and by April 2023 there are already 23 injured. In incidents on pedestrian crossings for 2022, 6 children were injured, and by April 2023 - the same number. Fortunately, there are no fatalities. The study reports that Sofia is at the bottom in terms of securing bike lanes.

A worrying case from Blagonevgrad shows that the fight for the lives of children on the road continues - a 16-year-old boy was hit by a 19-year-old driver on a pedestrian crossing. The children have no serious injuries.

Experts call for urgent measures to improve urban infrastructure and limit the speed of vehicles near schools to ensure the safety of the most vulnerable road users.
