简介
With the increase of parents sending kids to schools using private vehicles, the school crossing environment becomes challenging. In this respect, the Putrajaya local authority has taken an initiative to implement Walking School Bus (WSB) program at one of the schools in Putrajaya. Nonetheless, the program was called a stop due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined the school environment and the children crossing behaviour. The results revealed that majority of the children crossed the roads without looking at the vehicles. Jaywalking was observed among the elder school children and the parents were seen travelling on the pedestrian crosswalk together with the school children. The speeds of vehicles at the section without traffic warden were generally higher than the side of road with traffic warden. In summary, the Walking School Bus (WSB) program would effectively reduce the traffic conflicts or crashes among the school children.
