Street space isn’t always on our side as cyclists. To make cycling safer for you and your child, street layouts need to be redesigned to support and encourage cycling and more road legislation needs to be turned in favour of cyclists. In this space, we feature the most up-to-date research into how traffic laws affect cyclists, bike-friendly initiatives and future-thinking mobility projects that are worth getting excited about.
One way to make the approach to school safer is by boosting the number of children that make the journey by foot, by bike or by scooting. Fewer cars means less congestion around the school gates.
Important:
Have you identified any potential hazards on your child’s school run?
As a parent, you may want to encourage your school or local authority to promote a culture of active travel to school. You can request measures that enable more people to cycle and walk to school safely.
The goal: create a safer space for your child and future generations to ride or walk to school.
