Fourteen Galway schools - three in the city and eleven in the county - have been added to Round 3 of the Safe Routes to School Programme.
The scheme introduces pencil-shaped bollards, colourful road markings, improved footpaths, and pedestrian crossings to the areas in front of school buildings.
For the first time, schools on Higher Speed Rural Roads will be included, and the focus there will be on alerting motorists to the presence of schools, and encouraging lower speeds.
