Gurugram, March 28 -- The district's road safety committee (DRSC), along with the regional transport authority (RTA) and the Raahgiri foundation, has begun rolling out the school safety zones initiative of the district administration. The initiative has been started at the government primary school in Kadipur, where safety features such as warning signs, speed breakers and color-coded road crossings have been created, officials said on Friday. According to officials, around 20 such school safety zones are going to be set up in the coming months in the district. The zone at Kadipur, funded through the corporate social responsibility (CSR) of multiple organisations, is scheduled to be inaugurated today, officials said. According to officials, the safety zones outside the school are required to prevent accidents and safe commutation of children. Harender Veer, assistant road transport officer, said that safe school zones in Basai and Bhondsi government-run educational institutions are expected to be implemented by May-end. "Through surveys, around 20 schools have been identified by DRSC to create safe passage zones for children at their entry/exit points," Veer said. Bhawna Jha, senior project associate at Raahgiri Foundation and designer of the school safety zone in Kadipur, said the primary mobility assessment shows that more than 70% students walk to school in Kadipur. "Similar mobility patterns have been observed in government schools. This initiative shows that most chaotic roads can be transformed into safe, vibrant spaces for children," Jha said....
