1. Hackney School Streets
Road Safety & Traffic management

2. Project aims
• Reduce volume of traffic using roads past school gates, both school-run and through traffic;
• Improve air quality in and around school gates;
• Increase number of pupils walking and cycling to school; and
• Reduce the number of pupils arriving at the school gate by car
In 2013, Hackney Council and Edinburgh Council joined a European Union funded project, called STARS Europe1 to share best practice and develop a Pan-European framework to increase active travel to school. One of the partners, Milan was first to trial timed road closures (there are now Outside London Fields Primary School in Hackney, before School Streets in Milan2 ) and Edinburgh Council imported the idea to the UK, launching 6 School Streets in late 2015 and growing the scheme to 9 schools (with a further 3 scheduled for 2019). Shortly after, Hackney launched a pilot and the first School Street in Hackney opened in June 2017.

2. Undertake site assessments – collect & analyse baseline data- Home postcode plots – summarise school travel challenges – develop vision & targets
3. Consultation & engagement- Design and install street measure- traffic order- enforcement methods
4. Send out pre-implementation information – Delays – launch event- carry out enforcement
5. Collect & analyse follow-up data – communicate (and celebrate) results & lessons learnt
6. Making scheme permanent- partners to keep scheme going- memorandum of understanding
