In Wales’ Programme for Government there is a commitment to work with schools to promote active travel and road safety. Increasing the number of School Street schemes is one of a range of measures which can help to increase levels of both active travel and safety on our roads.
This guidance is aimed at local authorities in Wales, particularly authorities with limited experience of delivering School Streets schemes.
It may also be of interest to school staff and governors.
The guidance provides an overview of what School Streets are, the key steps and factors to consider when developing and implementing schemes and how School Streets fit within the wider context of enabling walking, wheeling and cycling to school.
It is not meant to be an exhaustive guide but provides links to more detailed information and support.
