What are School Zones?
School Zones are built infrastructural upgrades that are designed to give priority to students at the school gate by freeing up footpaths and reducing vehicle drop-offs, pick-ups and idling. The aim is to increase safety at the front of school and prioritise active travel (walking, cycling, wheeling and scooting) to and from school.
School Zones are implemented around the world in order to:
- Increase student safety
- Reduce vehicle drop-offs, pick-ups and idling outside the school gate
- Reduce congestion and prioritise active travel (walking, cycling, wheeling and scooting) to and from school
- Encourage slow, safe driving in the area of the school
- Promote considerate parking
- Reduce emissions and pollution, and improve air quality and noise quality by reducing volume of traffic at schools and vehicles with engines idling
