  School traffic jams need sorting out
Updated 17 September 2003, 07.32
School traffic jam
School traffic jams are so bad, the Government's thinking of some pretty drastic measures to solve the problem.

Because you mostly go to school at the same time every day, the traffic gets really bad.

One plan is that your timetables might be changed so there aren't as many cars on the road all at once.

Another is to stop so many parents driving their kids to school, and to encourage more pupils to walk and cycle to and from lessons.

Headteachers don't like the idea of changing timetables because it would mess up the school day.

Whatever the Government decides to do, it's going to spend a whopping £50m in the next two years to fight school jams.
