This isn't Amsterdam. (Honest!)
We successfully campaign for more cycle lanes, school streets, zebra crossings, 20mph speed limits and parking controls, all of which can make school zones safer places to walk, ride or scoot

With the world heating up [and more pedestrians being killed], why are more SUVs being sold?
“It’s the industry that has driven the demand through huge marketing & advertising campaigns in recent years. SUVs offered the industry a simple way of charging more for a vehicle that does the same thing.”

😮 A sobering statistic for Road Safety Week... In the UK, SUVs are three times more likely to kill a child under the age of 10 and heavier cars are more likely to be involved in fatal collisions.

🫵🏻 Want your children’s school to have School Street designation?
🚸 It creates priority for families cycling or walking by closing the road during drop-off and pick-up.
🚦All children should feel going to and from school!
