To support systematic and long-term traffic safety education, a school-specific traffic safety plan is drawn up. To achieve the best results, the Finnish Road Safety Council (Liikenneturva) recommends schools pay attention to the following topics: a safe traffic environment that is evaluated on the basis of the capabilities and needs of the pupils, the use of safety equipment, traffic safety education, and influencing other road users, especially car drivers.

They furthermore recommend that school-specific traffic safety plans comprise four parts: the journey to school and the surrounding traffic environment, traffic safety education, role models, and collaboration and networking. The plan should be drawn up by teachers, students and their parents, and acts as a guide for systematic traffic safety education.
