What are Healthy School Streets (HSS)
Healthy School Streets are roads that have timed access restrictions for most motor vehicles at school start and finish times. This makes it safer and easier for children and their families to walk, cycle or scoot to school.
The key aims of Healthy School Streets include:
- Improving road safety near schools
- Encouraging more children to have an active journey to school
- Reducing traffic congestion at the school gates
- Improving air quality outside schools
We aim to create Healthy School Streets for all schools in the borough, where it is feasible.
