‘Safe Routes to School’ project reworked to align with current traffic patterns

In a concerted effort to enhance safety and minimise accidents near school zones in Bengaluru, the city’s traffic police have rolled out a reworked ‘Safe Routes to School’ project again this year. A senior traffic police official said that areas such as Residency Road and Museum Road have been prioritised under this scheme, as both locations house around five schools each. Our objective is to improve road safety measures in these areas to guarantee that children can travel to and from school without unnecessary risk,” said a police official. School zones often witness chaotic traffic, and it is reassuring to see authorities taking steps to make these areas safer for our children,” said Asha Ramesh, whose child is enrolled in a school on Residency Road.
