Roads: Schools

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to improve road safety outside schools.

Answer

The safety of our roads is an absolute priority for this Government.

Local authorities have a range of traffic management measures available to them to help improve safety outside schools including reducing speed limits, traffic calming, and introduction of a School Street where appropriate. On 19 November 2024 Active Travel England and the Department for Transport published joint School Streets Guidance. The guidance is available at School Streets: how to set up and manage a scheme - GOV.UK
