From Wikipedia

A school street is a street located near an educational institution which is pedestrianized, either at all times or at least during school start and end times. The aim of a school street is to calm traffic, make the street safer, and encourage students to walk or cycle, thereby promoting their autonomy. Vehicle restrictions create a virtuous cycle: as routes become safer, more people travel to school on foot or by bicycle, which in turn further reduces traffic.
