School zones

Communities around the world are committed to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries. Children are some of the most vulnerable road users who both need and deserve special protection.
Help improve children’s safety by enhancing school zone visibility.

Promoting school zone safety to protect children

Urbanization across the globe has caused increased traffic in contained areas, including school zones. This presents challenges like keeping children safe as they travel to and from school.
