Way of the students

One of the main questions we ask to send our children alone to school, is, if on the way to school, something will happen, for this reason and in order to create a safe path to school, I proposed ayuntament Vendrell to create a safe path, capable of vertebrae through the town where we live.
The idea is not new, as in Barcelona, ​​in the district of l'Eixample, with the name of Cami Amic, the Barrio de la Prosperitat in the Nou Barris district, named Cami School or Poble Nou in the district of San Martin, named Cami Amic Espai School, has since 2006 working, implemented with success.

The idea proposed was to apply the draft to Vendrell, in order to create a safe path for our children to go to school. Its development involves creating a series of pedestrian crossings identified as "Cami dels estudiants" vertical signs and painted and created purposely for this purpose throughout the Vendrell. We may also provide assistance to lower points for those who may have problems along the way, with the collaboration of traders Vendrell. These points would be easily identifiable by the child, since identification would place a sticker in the window trade. Making it, could also be placed in strategic points to local police to ensure the safety of children.
Once created, with the consensus of the AMPAS for schools, local government, the merchants association and local political groups, we could create and provide, through each school, a plan for each student, with the to encourage their use as well as a series of basic safety recommendations when walking alone by the population.

The impact of camí estudiants dels within the population

We must consider some factors before carrying out the project to create the way to school, since it is not just the painting of a crosswalk or the help of a merchant or vertical placement of signs indicative, it about the adequacy of the road environment of the school, making it a safe passageway on the road side on the way to school, placing high pedestrian crossings, traffic lights and reduced speed signs throughout the area of ​​influence of the road .
We must also take into account people with reduced mobility or those who use minors being in baby carriage, adapting the way for all and for all.


The impact on schools

To better support the creation of the way to school, the schools must be equipped with driver education classes for students in secondary and creating a plan showing the layout, easily identifiable by the user. It also could create brigades of traffic, using P4 and P5 children, accompanied by local agents that could give way at pedestrian crossings adjacent to schools.

The social impact of road

One of the main factors to which reference is made in the whole experience of going to school, is the collaboration and participation of all entities that make up society where it has established and is a need to approach all and collaborate with everyone in order to create safe and accessible environments, in the case of something as important as children.
The economic cost

It is clear that the way the school has a high economic cost, if you do a project useful, practical and beneficial, the cost is out of public coffers, as the way to school is a community project, on public land for the benefit of all those who have children in school and in general the benefit of all.

The creation of the road

Obviously the creation of the way to school is a project in the medium and long term because its size and its high cost when taking into account the areas to adapt. Therefore it is necessary to create a commission representing all the parties to agree on the route of the "Way of the students."
