There is an amazing new crossing on our school run. There was nothing there before and it was a dangerous road that saw a bad accident a couple of years ago. They’ve taken out places where people were parking illegally, the speed limit is now 20mph, and the crossing is the best one I’ve seen. It’s big, bright and vibrant and really quite spectacular! It’s now clear for drivers to see and they slow down.

My son has autism and he knows it’s a safe place to cross. We use it a lot. My husband uses it to link onto a cycle path to get to work. I use it to get into town. Older kids are now able to get to school by themselves. I would love to see more of these. All schools should have these sorts of crossings.
