Infrastructure
When we work with schools to create an Active Travel Plan, we also discuss any problems they may have with infrastructure outside the school gates, such as crossing points or areas that raise pedestrian safety concerns.
We collaborate with other departments to try and implement changes to make the journey to school a safer experience.
Bollards
Bollards have been installed as a safety feature to protect pedestrians where dangerous parking had been observed.
Guard rails
Guard rails have been installed in this car park to protect pedestrians and to prevent drivers exiting the car park and driving over the pavement.
Raised/Tabled Zebra Crossing
Raised crossings combine traffic calming and safe places for families/pedestrians to cross. This enhances visibility and encourages drivers to slow down where pedestrians are crossing.
