11.5.3 – Safety audit
3. Analysing road safety conditions by school and preschool facilities
• Road safety issues were communicated with directors of local school and preschool facilities in terms of:
• What are the main safety hazards?
• What are the proposals for improvements from each facility?
• Where is the main concentration of children near roads?
• On spot safety inspection performed by traffic experts
• Assessment of results, proposal of solutions
• Plan for traffic training for children
