The #SaferStreets initiative calls on government to provide safe spaces for pedestrians and cyclists across the country both during and after the current Covid-19 crisis.

The reality is that social distancing will be a feature of Irish society for some time to come however, our towns and villages are currently incapable of facilitating social distancing and as a result, many people are forced to step on to the road, putting themselves at risk.

Supported by the Irish Heart Foundation, the Irish Cancer Society and the Association for Health Promotion Ireland, #SaferStreets is an initiative of the Irish Pedestrian Network and Cyclist.ie.
