Creating Safer School Zones

​Trinity School trial

From September 2024 to July 2025, temporary improvements will be in place on La Route de la Trinité outside Trinity School.

The trial includes:

  • a speed limit reduction to 20mph
  • traffic calming measures
  • build-outs for pedestrians crossing
  • improved facilities for bus users

Drivers will not be able to turn right from La Route de La Trinité into Les Ruelles. Trinity School will manage the access to Les Ruelles during the trial.

We’ll used your feedback to design permanent improvements to be built in August 2025. To give your feedback on the trial email dfi@gov.je​.

Other improvements

A trial School Street will also be in place on Les Ruelles.

It’ll be closed to motorised traffic Monday to Friday:

  • 8:15am to 9am
  • 2:30pm to 3:15pm

Find more information on School Street Scheme for safer travel to school.

Upcoming projects

We’re looking to improve the Bagatelle area between St Saviour’s Primary School and Victoria College Preparatory School. 

More information will be provided when available. Schools and residents in the areas will also be contacted.

What Safer School Zones are

Safer School Zones are the roads near schools that we can improve to make it safer to travel in the area.

The aim is to encourage students, families and staff to walk and cycle to school.

We can make school zones safer by:

  • creating or improving crossings
  • making changes to junctions
  • widening footways
  • restricting or lowering the speed of motor traffic

Improving the bus service and providing better travel information can also help reduce car trips and encourage more people to actively travel.

School Streets

A School Street is a road outside a school with a temporary restriction on motorised traffic access during school term drop-off and pick-up times.

It’s another way to make routes near schools safer.

Find more information on School Street Scheme for safer travel to school.

School Travel Reports

The reports provide a list of issues and opportunities to help us:

  • improve routes to schools
  • create Safer School Zones
  • increase active travel

We use the reports with schools and other stakeholders to develop plans to make routes to schools safer and support the sustainable travel policy.

The reports are developed in phases with individual school communities. We hope to have all reports for the remaining schools by 2025.
