Road Safety Week 17 - 23 November 2024

Road Safety Week (RSW) is the UK's biggest road safety event, organised by 'Brake', a road safety charity.

The week, from 17 to 23 November, is a great opportunity for schools to engage children and young people in road safety, to help them understand how they can keep themselves and others safe, and raise awareness in the school community.

Encourage active travel

A key part of Ealing Council's transport strategy is to improve road safety that supports the Mayor of London's 'Vision Zero' project. This aims to eliminate deaths and serious injuries from London’s streets by 2041. By encouraging families and staff to shift to 'Active Travel' getting to and from schools, and teaching good road safety skills, together we can help to make streets safer for everyone. You’ll find more information about RSW here: Road Safety Week - Brake
