Restrict car access in the city
This measure proposes traffic restrictions around schools and other facilities to promote safer and more active modes of transportation. Blocking the school perimeter for non-resident cars creates a safe environment for students, frees sidewalks from illegal parking, and encourages biking or public transportation. The UPPER tools can help analyse and compare flow changes before and after the restrictions, helping decision-makers anticipate challenges. The annual 'Hands Up' Survey will monitor modal changes in schools where the measure is implemented. Trialling this measure alongside Amarelo and Navegante Escola card measures will further support modal change adoption.
