Roundabouts Near Schools Need Safer Design

As a Milton resident, I’m urging our local council and planners to rethink the design of roundabouts in school zones. These intersections may work well for cars, but they create real safety risks for children—especially near schools like [insert name here] or others in fast-growing neighborhoods.

With inconsistent pedestrian markings and unclear right-of-way rules, kids and families are left to navigate busy traffic without enough support. We need clearer crosswalks, stronger signage, and better lighting. Let’s make safety a priority, not an afterthought.

This isn’t just about one intersection—it’s about every child walking to school. Milton’s rapid growth demands smarter planning and safer streets.
