School Streets restrict motorised traffic during school pick-up and drop-off times to make the space outside schools more pleasant safer for people walking, cycling and wheeling to school.
School Streets are part of our ambition to make Leeds the best city for all our children and young people to grow up in, be a city where you don't need a car, and to achieve Vision Zero by 2040 (by 2040 no one will be killed or suffer serious injuries on roads in Leeds).
If you live or work on a School Street, this scheme should help to address issues around illegal, inconsiderate, and dangerous parking and congestion.
School Streets are currently, or will shortly be in operation at a number of schools across Leeds. You can find these on an interactive map.

Residents can apply for up to three access permits and one visitor permit. Business can apply for up to ten access permits.
Most vehicles cannot drive on a School Street during restricted times. Some exemptions, including Blue Badge holders, emergency services and liveried delivery vehicles, do not have to apply for a permit and can access School Streets at any time.
West Yorkshire Neighbourhood Policing teams and Council Civil Enforcement Officers (CEOs) visit each School Street periodically to enforce the School Street Order (police) and any other parking restrictions in the vicinity of the schools (CEOs).
Reporting obstructive or nuisance parking
If a vehicle is blocking access to your driveway you should first ask neighbours if they know who the car belongs to, so they can move it.
You can also report parking over a dropped kerb to the police on 101 for causing an obstruction or complete an
online form.
Research shows that School Streets can help to reduce the overall number of vehicles in wider neighbourhoods, because more people choose to walk, scoot or cycle to school. Levels of parking in nearby streets will be monitored before and following the implementation of School Streets.
We have carried out risk assessments on the routes between Park and Stride sites and the schools will take steps to reduce any hazards.
