Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

It is estimated that in the United Kingdom, when school is in session, 16% of cars on the urban roads, at the peak time of 8:30 am, are there for the 'school-run'. About 27% of school children are driven to school, thereby being denied the health benefits of walking to school. The paper looks at the work of the Local Highways Authority, Cambridgeshire County Council to develop and deploy strategies to address traffic problems throughout the county. An important aim is the need to reduce the impact of traffic. The Authority is making a bid to combat the specific problems generated by school related traffic.
