KAI County, China - May 30, 2016

Starting at the end of May, the Walk Wise project team and the Kai County Education Committee Officer toured all 20 Phase IV project schools, surveying for traffic risks around the school grounds. They also spoke with each school’s principal and safety director and discussed road treatment methods that could remedy any observed risks.

The next step, which will take place next month, will be to carry out necessary infrastructural modifications based on these observations at 19 of the Phase IV project schools. The goal after modification is to ensure that students can enter and leave school in a safe manner and in a controlled environment; to this end, all schools will receive pedestrian crossings, and some heavy traffic areas will also be equipped with speed bumps.
