Swiss school routes deemed too dangerous

A survey conducted by the polling organization YouGov on behalf of the Transport and Environment Association (ATE) and the Road Safety Fund reveals that 41% of Swiss parents with children aged four to seven believe their child's school commute is unsafe. The study highlights that 85% of children in Switzerland cross roads with speed limits of 50 km/h or higher, and most walk to school. Parents in French-speaking Switzerland and Ticino report particularly poor safety conditions. The ATE is advocating for safer footpaths, reduced speed limits, and improved pedestrian infrastructure, while suggesting 'walking bus' programs as a short-term solution. They argue that independent walking improves children's health and attention span.
