Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Compulsory safe crossing points to be provided at all schools
Make the provision of a safe crossing point (crossing patrol/zebra crossing/pelican crossing) outside every primary and secondary school mandatory, regardless of pedestrian/vehicle rations.
More details
Justification of provision of safe crossing points for schools is determined on a pedestrian/vehicle ratio, which means schools with 'low traffic' do not qualify for a safe crossing.
The p/v ratio does not account for actual driver behaviour including, but not limited to, parking habits, accelerative speed and general speed within 20-30mph zones.
We petition government to write into law provision of safe crossings at all schools to prevent avoidable injury and death to schoolchildren.
