School Streets

Air pollution in urban areas has a significant impact on children’s health. However, one initiative to tackle air pollution, carbon emissions, and road danger all in one go is School Streets.

A School Street restricts traffic outside schools at pick-up and drop-off times during term, making it safer and easier for children to walk, scoot and cycle.

This map shows all the schools in Birmingham, Bristol, London, and Leeds, with those that have a School Street marked in blue. The vast majority do not.

Find your local school and click it to send a letter to your councillor calling for this practical measure to reduce children’s exposure to toxic air pollution.

We’ve created this map to help people learn more about the areas they live in - and show how many school children are exposed to the danger and pollution of private car ownership.

The controls below the map allow you to jump to specific cities. If you'd like to see a School Street outside your local school then find it on the map and click through to write to your councillor to show your support.

If you find an error, we'd love to hear about it. Email hello@wearepossible.org.
