Improving safety in and around schools
Ensuring safe access to schools is a key priority for local councils, schools, and communities. With increasing numbers of cars, cyclists, and pedestrians around school entrances, it is vital to have the right infrastructure in place to reduce risk, improve traffic flow, and encourage sustainable travel.
At TMP, we provide a range of effective, durable, and sustainable solutions designed to improve safety in and around schools—whether it is managing parking, enhancing visibility, or protecting pedestrian and cycle routes.
