Safety first at busy primary schools

BIG changes are on the way for two busy Kerry primary schools after funding was granted to install road safety measures for cyclists, pedestrians and pupils.

Presentation Primary School in Listowel and St Joseph’s National School in Castlemaine are now looking forward to a safer future for their pupils after they were included in the Safe Routes to School Programme - an initiative aimed at slowing down traffic outside school buildings and encouraging children to cycle to school.

Pres Primary and St Joseph’s follow in the footsteps of several primary and secondary schools that have had new safety measures introduced in recent years - including Mercy Mounthawk Secondary School in Tralee, along one of the busiest routes into the town, earlier this year.

The safety programme will introduce an extensive range of measures designed to alleviate traffic build-up, tackle speeding concerns outside the schools, all while providing safer cycling and walking routes to school for pupils.
