高雄市近4年投入6210萬元,推動71所學校周邊83處路口號誌改善工程,以最大區鳳山區11校周邊16處路口最多,今年底將完成9校,新增13校明年完成,透過更明確的停讓規則與行人通行指引,強化學童上下學安全。

高雄市維護通學人行安全,推動校園周邊增設號誌改善計畫,六度獲得國土管理署經費補助,累計投入6210萬元,辦理號誌改善工程,增設行人專用號誌及「三色號誌+行人號誌」等。

市府前3年投入5210萬元,推動58校周邊68處路口號誌改善工程,其中第五波共9校經費900萬元,剛完成發包作業,將於今年底前完成;今年第六波剛核定1000萬元,市府將推動13校周邊15處路口,將依程序報請議會同意地方自籌款,並接續辦理招標作業,預計今年底動工、明年完工。

整體以最大區鳳山區11校周邊16處路口最多,今年新增福誠高中、忠孝及過埤國小等3校,周邊4處路口納入改善,包括福誠高中大門口五甲三路、國泰路二段與五權南路口、真君路與福裕街口、真君路與田衙路口,範圍已由既有市區學校,逐步擴及五甲、過埤等通學需求明顯區域。

市府依各路口交通條件,補強校園周邊穿越安全,改善內容從行人號誌設置,逐步擴大為「三色號誌+行人號誌」、機車停等區、行穿線增繪或退縮等整合型路口改善,讓車輛停讓規則更清楚,學童通學動線更清楚、穿越路口更安全,將持續爭取中央補助,結合通學道、人行空間、標線及號誌整合改善,逐步打造以學童為優先的安全、友善校園通行環境。
