We are delivering School Streets in Bristol as part of our plans to improve road safety, encourage walking, cycling and scooting to and from school and improve the air quality and environment outside of schools.
We are currently looking into launching schemes at the following sites:
Hillcrest Primary School
St Werburgh's Primary School
Little Mead Primary School
Background
What are School Streets?
Bristol City Council is committed to making Bristol’s streets safer for everyone living and working in and visiting the city. An area of priority are the streets outside our schools – we want to make the journey to school safer and healthier for children and their families, and help to make it a nice environment for everyone living and working there.
One of the ways we are doing this is through the introduction of School Streets, whereby the street or streets immediately outside the school entrance are closed to non-essential vehicles at school opening and closing times.
Only people walking, wheeling, cycling and scooting are permitted access to the School Street zone while the restriction is in place, with exemptions given to emergency vehicles and Blue Badge holders. In some cases, permits will be given to residents and businesses living or working within the zone – this varies from scheme to scheme and is decided on an individual basis.
Aims of the School Street scheme:
The aim of a School Street is to make it easier and safer for children and their parents to walk, wheel, cycle and scoot to school.
Reducing the use of private car journeys to and from school should lead to:
Less road danger from traffic
Less anti-social behaviour from inconsiderate parking and dangerous driving
More children walking, wheeling, cycling and scooting to school
Reduced congestion and local pollution from idling vehicles
