Traffic gardens—under various names and forms—have been used around the world for nearly a century as a tool to teach road safety and promote active transportation. Our goal is to bring these diverse projects together, sharing ideas and insights to learn from their successes and unique approaches.

​

We’re thrilled to kick off a special series exploring traffic gardens across the globe! Our first feature highlights Albania, and we’ll be delving into other countries soon to show how different regions are shaping the next generation of safer, more confident road users.

​

For now, here’s a glimpse of recent developments in the field:

• Netherlands: ANWB has installed over 70 traffic gardens on school grounds, prioritizing safe cycling education.

• Germany: Deutsche Verkehrswacht has supported the creation of more than 600 traffic gardens in schools across the country.

• Bulgaria: Over a 1,000 new traffic gardens have been built with recent funding, focusing on kindergartens and primary schools.

• South Africa: Junior Traffic Training Centers are established in schools nationwide, with at least 36 in the Western Cape alone.

Stay tuned for more stories and updates as we continue to explore how traffic gardens are transforming communities and empowering young learners worldwide!
