Pedestrian traffic modifications help students keep safe as they walk to school

June 20, 2014

IMG_0563Environmental modifications such as speed bumps, road signs and painted pedestrian paths are an important part of keeping children safe around schools. In Kai County, 18 schools have started to make changes in their environment, thanks to advice and funding from AIP Foundation.

AIP Foundation has provided the schools with a School Environment Modification Manual, which was developed through the in-kind support of the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB). The evidence-based treatments in the manual are low-cost and appropriate for the local road environments around the schools. Using the manual, parents, teachers and community members can design projects that will help keep students safe as they walk to and from school.
