HC Deb 05 March 2002 vol 381 c175W
37. Jean Corston

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, Local Government and the Regions what measures he is taking to improve roadside safety outside schools. [36681]

Mr. Jamieson

There is a wide range of measures available to local authorities to improve safety outside schools. As well as urban safety measures, such as 20 mph zones, they can, for example, designate no waiting areas outside school entrances and provide school crossing patrols. In many areas school travel plans consider safety within the wider context of journeys to and from school.
