Road Safety (Schools) Bill

The Road Safety (Schools) Bill introduces mandatory measures to improve road safety for schoolaged children in the UK. It requires schools to implement road safety education programmes, establishes lower speed limits in designated school zones (typically 20 mph), and places obligations on local authorities to conduct safety assessments on routes to schools. The bill also mandates that schools work with local councils and police to identify accident hotspots and implement targeted interventions where children are most at risk.
