Information in this area

Drinking and driving

Did you know that on average 3,000 people are killed or seriously injured each year in drink drive related accidents? Even a small drink will make you a worse driver. You can't judge speed and distance so well.

Mobile telephones

You are four times more likely to have a crash whilst using a mobile phone.

Road safety schemes

The initiative, since its implementation, has introduced physical measures such as new cycleways/footpaths, cycle stands and signal crossings at local schools as well as non-physical measures such as signing and road markings at school entrances.

School crossing patrols

Flintshire has over fifty approved schools crossing patrols sites, serving all members of the community wishing to cross roads at these locations.

School travel plan

A School Travel Plan (STP) is a document written and adopted by a school outlining the action it will take to encourage healthier, safer and sustainable travel to and from school.

Seat belts and child restraints

Wearing a Seat Belt Saves Lives! For your own and others' safety, the law requires you to use a seat belt if one is fitted.

Walking to school

Parents who drive short journeys to school make up much of the rush hour traffic, which creates particular dangers for those who walk, especially children. There are alternatives, and you could be part of the answer to all these problems.
