The “School Street” approach is part of a vision of a calm, friendly, breathable city in which it is good to live. A city in which children and parents feel safer and more serene in their daily movements. Objectives:

• Encourage walking, scootering or cycling to school in line with the objectives of the community’s Pedestrian Plan.
• Make the school environment safer and provide more space for active modes of transport.
• Encourage independence by allowing older children to come to school alone.
• Provide a healthy environment and encourage good daily habits for good health from an early age.
• Improve children’s health by reducing their exposure to pollution and noise from road traffic, encouraging physical activity and reducing stress.
