For two weeks, our town tried closing the street outside our school to most cars for twenty minutes before lessons. Families could still drive to a car park a short walk away. I expected everyone to welcome the change, but opinions were mixed. Some parents said the extra walk would make them late for work. One neighbour worried about getting out of her driveway. Before the trial began, the organisers explained how residents and people who needed vehicle access could enter. During the trial, I noticed less noise outside the gates. A teacher counted the children arriving on foot, but we couldn't tell how far they had walked. Some might simply have walked from the nearby car park. My friend also noticed more traffic on the next street. At the final meeting, I supported continuing the scheme, provided that the town checked what was happening on the surrounding roads. A quieter entrance was a useful improvement, but moving the problem to another street wouldn't be a complete solution.
