The benefits of walking are backed by various studies that show it can lead to improvements in cardiovascular health, concentration and mental well-being. In addition, more walking can result in environmental benefits like improved air quality and diminished traffic.
But in a village where pedestrian safety has been an issue, a push for walking and biking to school in the month of May is being accompanied by an enhanced push for safety awareness.
