Roads: Safety
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to support local authorities in improving road safety on residential road near schools.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
Active Travel England and my Department published joint School Streets Guidance in November 2024. School Streets schemes restrict motor traffic outside schools during pick-up and drop-off times; improving safety, reducing congestion and enabling more pupils to walk, wheel or cycle.
