The other way to make that road safer would be to put railings up outside the schools and a couple of crossings with lights on. They don't appear to like doing that any more though.

My primary school - yes it is still there and hasn't fallen down yet - had railings outside it from the car park to the school and along a stretch of footpath opposite so you couldn't step into the road and is on a 30mph road. It's opposite the Foxfields and Mytton Fold.

Here is a link if it works https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=bb6...,,0,29.92&z=21
