Streets outside of four more schools in Bristol will have additional protections for children and families at school pickup and drop off whilst encouraging more active forms of travel on the daily school run.
The four schools join seven others to bring the total number of official School Streets in our city to 11, with plans for further schemes in the pipeline.
The four schools which have introduced new measures during the autumn term are:
Ashley Down Primary School in Horfield
Cathedral Primary School and Bristol Cathedral Choir School in Hotwells
Fair Furlong Primary School in Hartcliffe
St Bernadette Catholic Primary School in Whitchurch
The streets outside these schools are now classed as walking, cycling, and wheeling zones, restricting car use with temporary barriers across the road at drop off and pick up times at the start and end of the school day.
The permanent schemes encourage families to walk, cycle, wheel, scoot or park further away from the school and walk the last part of the journey.
