Healthy school streets

A healthy school street aims to improve the street environment outside schools making it easier for students to walk, wheel and cycle to school. It adopts a human-centred framework (Healthy Streets Approach) which aims to make streets healthy places for everyone. 

Many changes can be made including (but not limited to) raised zebra crossings, 20mph speed limit, speed cushions, trees and planting, extended barriers and other public improvements (cycle parking, benches and lighting).
