Comments on: They’re smart commuters at Albert Park Primary School http://treadly.net/2006/10/18/albert-park-primary-school/ Work is just something I do between bike rides Tue, 03 Jan 2012 06:01:19 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Treadly and Me http://treadly.net/2006/10/18/albert-park-primary-school/comment-page-1/#comment-379 Treadly and Me Tue, 06 Feb 2007 22:38:16 +0000 http://treadly.thingoid.com/?p=238#comment-379 <p>It's a fair point from john, but I think this isn't a problem that's specific to Albert Park Primary School or just to schools that have a walk-to-school programme. It's just as much a problem where kids jump out of parked cars and cross busy streets away from formal school crossings.</p> It’s a fair point from john, but I think this isn’t a problem that’s specific to Albert Park Primary School or just to schools that have a walk-to-school programme.

Today the school nearly lost three students because they ran accross the road against a red light.</p> The kids need to be better educated about the dangers of running in front of oncomming traffic.

I'd love to see a case study of a single school's "active transport" success published in the press once a week until it becomes so boring that people no longer regard it as newsworthy.</p> While I take your point about it being sad that this is “news” and not the “norm” I can’t help but feel that this is a fantastic, positive story.
