Safer School Journeys - Broadmeadow Junior School

Overview

The Safer School Journeys programme is a city-wide initiative designed to make streets around schools safer, healthier and more welcoming for pupils, families and the wider community.

Funded through the Clean Air Zone and aligned with the city’s Road Harm Reduction Strategy, this programme offers dedicated support to help schools identify and address road safety concerns, improve air quality, and encourage more walking, wheeling, and cycling. It also supports the vision for Kids Streets across the West Midlands.

Broadmeadow Junior School has been selected for improvements as part of this programme.

We are proposing to introduce:

• No waiting (at any time) restrictions along sections of Monyhull Hall Road and Broadmeadow Lane with targeted ‘No Loading’ restrictions at school peak times
• No waiting restrictions (double yellow lines) at top of Walkers Heath Road
• A relocated eastbound bus stop away from the school entrance on Bells Lane and removal of layby area
• Bollards or planters to stop parking on pavements and access points
• Clearer signs and coloured road surfacing, including on approach to crossings, to make drivers aware they are entering an area with a school
• Planting, seating and cycle parking to improve the look and feel of the area
