UNESCO Module 2: Oetting to school -------------------------
Basing local congestion
Now you have thought a little about your own journey to school. You have also
studied the Green Boulevard solution to traffic congestion in Hasselt. Here are
some more points to think about:
Your journey to school:
• Does your journey time vary from day to day? What causes any variation?
• Have you ever come this way during the holidays, or at a different time of
day? What difference did you notice?
Local traffic problems:
What steps has your local council taken to manage traffic? Think about
• Car parks, parking restrictions, park-and-ride schemes.
• Cycle tracks, footpaths, pedestrian areas.
• Restrictions on lorries or other large vehicles.
• Bus and train services.
• Discuss any local traffic problems which affect pupils' journeys to school.
• Make some suggestions about how these problems could be reduced.
• Decide on a suitable way to present your ideas - perhaps as a poster, a letter
to the local newspaper, or a presentation to the class.
