GLOBAL TRAFFIC GARDENS

Traffic gardens—known by many names but all versions of the same concept—have been used worldwide to teach traffic safety and encourage active transportation.

Our goal is to showcase diverse efforts, highlighting shared principles and unique innovations to learn from each other’s successes. The first story in our global series comes from Albania, with more to follow. These examples show how traffic gardens are shaping safer, more confident young road users worldwide.
