Car free school streets
Since September 2019, roads outside of 20 schools in ¶®ÒõµÛ have been closed to motor traffic at the start and end of the school day.
This is part of a scheme to reduce congestion and improve air quality at the school gates as well as making it easier and safer to walk or cycle to school.
This scheme aims to:
- cut down on traffic and parking pressures outside schools
- discourage car journeys to school and encourage walking and cycling
- make the streets outside schools safer at the start and end of the day
- improve air quality and create a more pleasant environment for everyone
See how schools were selected and details on what type of locations are most appropriate for this part-time closure of streets to traffic.
All schools in ¶®ÒõµÛ are able to benefit through the Modeshift STARS scheme, which offers support and rewards to schools for taking steps to promote safer, greener and healthier travel.
To support evidence-based decisions, an auditing process has recently been undertaken to assess suitability and prioritise locations for the future delivery of CFSS in ¶®ÒõµÛ.
