School Streets are being introduced around the country. Where pilot schemes have been introduced, residents and parents alike have benefited from the traffic reduction.
1 in 5 children starting primary school in Croydon is overweight or obese. By secondary school this increases to 1 in 3 children.
Busy streets around schools are preventing families walking, cycling or taking other forms of active travel on the way to school. Making these roads quieter to allow for active travel can make a massive difference to the amount of exercise children and families get each day.
Streets with schools entrances face large spikes in traffic during the morning and afternoon school runs.
For residents of these streets, the start and end of the school day are noisy, polluted and dangerous times. Residents may struggle to park or drive to work due to the large numbers of families driving to school.
School Streets help to relieve the pressure on these busy roads. The pilot schemes provided strong evidence that the traffic displacement does not cause road safety issues of any significance on the roads around School Streets.
