Safer school travel for Runcorn Students at Runcorn Heights State Primary School have received a school travel safety boost after Council completed works as part of the Safe School Travel program.

The school has a high percentage of students who walk, cycle, carpool and catch public transport to school. Council recently installed pedestrian safety islands at the school crossing on Nemies Road to improve safety for students and their parents and guardians.The final design of the improvement was decided after consultation with both the school and residents in the area and was delivered with the Government’s Department of Transport and Main Roads.

Council’s Safe School Travel program has operated since 1991 to improve safety across ’s road network, including children’s daily commute to and from school. The Safe School Travel program delivers about 12 improvement projects each year.
