Road safety
Stay safe on Trafford's roads
We recognise the importance of learning to ride a bike safely for children. Children who ride bikes are happier and healthier than those who don’t, and cycling opens up many new social opportunities for young people.
Many of us haven’t actually set foot or bottom on a bike for years. Bikes have changed, our bodies have changed and the roads have certainly changed. Cycling proficiency is not all about children any more.
School crossing patrols ensure the travel to and from school, for local children, is as safe as possible. Currently we have 120 school crossing patrols in operation covering 100 crossing points.
