REPORT TO THE STANDING COMMITTEE OF TRAFFIC "SAFE ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL"

Problems in traffic which children meet on their way to and from school are dealt with. Great efforts are made by parents, teachers and policemen in order to teach children purposeful traffic habits, but it is very difficult to express things in a way so that children completely understand the reasons for them. Possible solutions for speed limits for traffic are elevated thresholds, zig zag and road closure. The school zone, change of meeting time, improved roads to school are other possibilities. /TRRL/
