Overview

In a 3-year reporting period, there were 18 accidents, 4 deaths and 14 injuries (disturbingly including 1 child death and 3 child injuries). SRF funded an initiative to improve safety by School No 12 situated on Mehdi Huseynzadeh, close to Samed.Vurghun Street, by the remedial treatment of installing a signal-controlled pedestrian crossing with countdown indicators, high-profile signage, bolt down bollards in front of the school to prevent parking right up to the pedestrian crossing, ‘Traffic Lights Ahead’ plaques with accompanying distance plaques, ‘Parking Prohibited’ signs, 30 kp/h signs and ‘SCHOOL SLOW DOWN’ road markings.
