Nuneaton's first #SchoolStreet seems to be ready to launch in May, on a small road that gets heavily congested during drop-off and pick-up. This is what can be expected, but how will it be enforced?

Walking, wheeling and cycling to school gives children more time to chat and play with their friends 🤸
Combined with fresh air and exercise, this is shown to have massive benefits for physical and mental health 👩⚕️

Our school street starts on Monday! Hooray! Thanks for all the work you do @mumsforlungs.bsky.social promoting #SchoolStreet and fighting for our children to breathe healthier air

1500 bulbs, 60 maintenance visits and one planting session later, Kennington Oval is a bright, vibrant #schoolstreet. Bulb planting sessions with children from a local @lambeth_council school taught them practical planting skills and a sense of pride over their green spaces. 🌿

A group of children and teens wearing bike helmets stand with their bicycles on a residential street that is closed to through traffic. A large cargo bike with a dog in the front carrier is on the left. They are gathered behind a barricade with signs indicating “Street Closed to Thru Traffic” and “School Street / Calle Escolar.”
How Megan Ramey is using bikes to spark independence for kids, calmer streets, and stronger communities. A powerful rethink of how we move and live. Listen here: tinyurl.com/tnkj97bs @bikabout.com

Pedestrian only street with people on it in winter
Bollards in Google street view
We know how. We just don’t.
I’ve always loved this permanent #SchoolStreet in front on Tops K-8. It connects the playground and the school, creates a great place for people in between, and makes a diverter for Franklin Ave N (a little known way to bike to Lakeview Blvd via the Collenade Park)!
👀 Look at all those walkers and rollers!
The students have loved using a car-free school street to play on their bikes before and after school.

As far as we are aware, @rochdalecouncil.bsky.social is yet to have a #SchoolStreet scheme despite the success of an #ANPR scheme in Oldham.

"Paris now has 300 School Streets!"
The mayor of Paris welcomes students back to a new school year with a personal message to all new and returning students
A #SchoolStreet is an area around the school where streets that held cars are now prioritized for the students to walk, bike, and play safely
Driver crashed car resulting in this on the 'quiet residential road' aka rat run my children's school in is on, Broomhill. We need a #schoolstreet ! @teammodeshift.bsky.social @sheffcitycouncil.bsky.social
Excellent to see another #SchoolStreet coming in Greater Manchester. Thanks to @aroojshah.bsky.social for supporting an expansion of this brilliant scheme across #Oldham. #AirPollution #ActiveTravel
Possible design of a permanent School Street on E 22nd Ave in Vancouver.
Hopefully, in 2027 the City of Vancouver will create a permanent school street (24/7), with enhancements like seating, planters, and play fixtures.
You can help make that happen by filling out a City of Vancouver's survey (deadline June 13 - today!) #SchoolStreet

This comprehensive report on play and how it is an essential part of childhood is well worth a read. Our volunteer Amandine contributed by describing the hugely positive impact her school's #SchoolStreet has had on her child and her local area. #Play #Children
#SchoolStreet / #RueEcole joy - a feeling recognised worldwide.

👊Big thanks to former kid and local Green councillor Patrick McAllister…
who’s been to all of our #PlayStreets
Many adults have forgotten the joy and creativity that play can bring, especially after a long week at school.

Most schools can have a #SchoolStreet - even roads with bus routes can have bus gates, so that only buses can drive down them during School Street hours. However, if your school is on a main road, other measures can help. Read more on this from @sustrans.bsky.social 👇 .
@qagggy.bsky.social Let me tell you about the Belgian regulation on ‘school streets’…

This is a great ambition - there are schools in Heywood, Middleton & Rochdale that would be ideal for #SchoolStreet schemes and it would be great to see some in our borough!
@rochdalecouncil.bsky.social @walkridegm.org.uk
We love our #SchoolStreet!
Can't wait to see these rolled out at many more schools across #GreaterManchester. #SchoolStreetsNorth

A filter on a cobbled street using a square wooden planter with a sign next to it saying Excepte / Uitgezonderd & a cycle symbol
Oh, this is a fantastic map! Now I won't have to randomly stumble across a #SchoolStreet (Rue scolaire / Schoolstraat) or a #ModalFilter (filtre) 🙂
A street outside a school that has been closed to motor traffic at drop-off and pick-up times. There are lots of children playing with their friends and families.
It's incredible to think that 90% of #Lambeth's primary schools will have a #SchoolStreet in 7 months' time. Some boroughs are forging ahead while others aren't even out of the starting blocks - wouldn't it be great for all schools to benefit from this transformation? @rezinachowdhury.bsky.social 🙏
It's brilliant to see the first camera-controlled #SchoolStreet in #GreaterManchester making such a difference. More please!
💚 No. of cars around the school gates reduced by 21 per cent at Hey with Zion and 33 per cent at St Edwards.
💚 Active travel has doubled!

Children and parents walk and cycle in the road outside a school in the sunshine. The road is closed to cars during drop-off and pick-up. The road is full of people. They look relaxed.
Another calm, chatty day on a Kingston #schoolstreet.
