- Abstract
In recent years, the number of motor vehicles and the total mileage of roads have been increasing, which leads to traffic accidents occur frequently. Children are the most vulnerable group, so improving the safety of walking to and from school has become very urgent in urban development. Based on the analysis of domestic and foreign literature, this paper puts forwards three dimensions of evaluation index system of environment, facilities and management and evaluates the streets around two primary schools in Wuhan. The results show that the traffic volume, the vehicle speed, the occupation of sidewalk and the vehicle avoidance are the most important indicators that need to be improved.
