Dear Editor,
As a public communication analyst, I have spoken with parents and educators across various communities about the safety of our children traveling to school. A common concern that repeatedly arises is the lack of pedestrian crossings and school wardens on busy public roads. Many children are forced to navigate dangerous traffic conditions daily, increasing the risk of serious accidents.
While some efforts have been made to address this issue, they are not nearly enough to create a meaningful nationwide impact. Road safety for schoolchildren must be a top priority, with well-marked pedestrian crossings, trained school wardens, and public awareness campaigns to promote vigilance among both drivers and pedestrians.
Our children are the future of this nation, and they deserve to travel to school, learn, and play in a safe environment. I urge the relevant authorities to take immediate and decisive action to improve road safety for our young ones before more lives are put at risk.
Sincerely,
Blane R Bunbury
