Traffic safety near schools

Study on student drop-off and pick-up behaviours at our primary schools

ROAD traffic injuries are the most common cause of death in Malaysian children aged between one and 18 years. Death is not uncommon in school zones and we have had a number of such cases reported in the media.

The Clinical Research Centre Perak (CRC Perak) has conducted a comprehensive study to determine the safety of student drop-off and pick-up behaviours at our primary schools. For the study, 20 government primary schools were randomly selected from 67 available schools in Ipoh city.
