Swiss Gardens Primary School

A School Street is a road outside a school with a timed restriction on motorised traffic at school drop-off and pick-up times. The restriction applies to school traffic and through traffic. The outcome is a safer, healthier, and more pleasant environment that nurtures a reduction in car trips and increased levels of walking, wheeling, and cycling.

School Streets can be a singular or combination of initiatives and infrastructure and may include highway signage and lining, parking or access restrictions and other highway improvements.

All schools will be fully engaged with their School Street and a range of in school education, reporting and monitoring will be carried out during the trial. The school will work with their wider community to ensure clear understanding of the School Street and how it runs.

For the trial, schools were chosen by reviewing existing engagement with the Active Travel team and where there has been existing contact with a cluster of schools.

Swiss Gardens is part of the West Sussex trial.
