Why these days fewer children play in street?
Traffic, parental anxiety- children's fears, Public attitudes to children playing in the street, Anti-social behaviour and street use.(1)
By slowing down traffic in an area, a safer environment is provided for children to play and cycle in street.
Urban furniture or even safety barriers or bollards are used by children.(2)
From 1970s there are initiatives that aimed to change the way children can use streets:
Home zones
Sustrans DIY streets
Traffic calming schemes(1)
