Ghent allocates extra street space for active travel at 45 schools

The City of Ghent identified that too little space is available outside many schools for safe physical distancing. As a result, extra measures will be introduced at 45 schools. They must ensure that everyone can stay at a safe distance from each other during the busy hours at the start and end of the school day. 25 primary schools will have a temporary 'school street', with 20 others where a parking strip or section of the road will be reserved for cyclists and pedestrians.
