School Streets reduce nitrogen dioxide by up to 23% during morning drop off – transportxtra
Survey reports 81% of parents and carers supported the measures at their children’s school
Closing the roads around schools to traffic at pick-up and drop-off times has reduced polluting nitrogen dioxide levels by up to 23% and is strongly supported by parents, new research published by the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan reveals.
To measure the air quality benefits of the new School Streets, 30 sensors from the Breathe London network were installed at 18 primary schools across Brent, Enfield and Lambeth to record nitrogen dioxide levels.
