Assessing the dangers of school journeys

The school board does not adequately identify genuinely dangerous areas. Education officials lack the desire or professional expertise to assess danger, so this task has been left to consultants. I therefore propose that, before the school bus service is introduced, the status of locations classified as dangerous should be changed to safe only after sufficient changes have been made to improve safety. Examples include the Mangsi intersection in Ruotsinkylä and Linjatie in Kellokoski. No changes have been made to either location for years, and residents are well aware of how dangerous these places are. When assessing the danger, it is also necessary to visit these locations at times when children are travelling to and from school.
