Road Safety

Safe School Zone

Safer roads for children on their way to school — the most basic need for young road users.

SNA has been advocating for Safe School Zones in Addis Ababa for the last seven years, and we have successfully completed eight schools in the city. We work to turn every school zone into a safe school zone — making the journey safer for school-going children, which is a basic need for them, by providing a safer road infrastructure environment around each school.

Safe School Zones project

We are now planning a partner-funded Safe School Zones programme for high-risk schools across Ethiopia — assessment, signs and crossings, traffic calming, school engagement and evidence reporting.
