Schoolchildren in Wales will be putting their best forward in the annual Walk to School week. (18-22 May, 2026).
The national campaign is supported by Local Authority Road Safety Teams and aims to increase number of children who walk, wheel or cycle to school.
Walking to school helps children keep healthy and happy and get ready to learn, as well as reducing pollution and congestion outside schools. It would be ideal if the enthusiasm can be maintained, and pupils and their families continue to walk to school whenever they can.

Operation Apex with a focus on improving motorcyclist safety and reducing serious collisions on key routes. The operation will see an increased police presence on roads popular with riders, particularly those known for higher collision rates.
Officers will be carrying out a combination of enforcement and engagement activity, targeting the main factors that contribute to serious and fatal collisions.
Motorcyclists are among the most vulnerable road users, and the Spring and Summer periods see a significant increase in the number of riders travelling across force boundaries to enjoy rural and coastal routes.
As part of Operation Apex, officers will be focusing on:
- Excessive or inappropriate speed
- Dangerous overtaking
- Loss of control on bends
- Anti-social or high-risk riding behaviours
In addition to enforcement, officers will be engaging with riders to provide advice on safer riding and promoting further skills development through the national BikeSafe scheme.
Riders are also being encouraged to carry out basic pre-ride checks before setting out, including tyres, brakes, lights and fluid levels, to ensure their motorcycle is roadworthy.
Inspector Dawn Fencott-Price, Dyfed-Powys Police Specialist Operations, said: “Operation Apex is about reducing the number of riders who are seriously injured or killed on our roads. We know many motorcyclists will travel into our area to enjoy the routes we have to offer, and we want everyone to arrive safely and return home safely.
“This operation is not about stopping people enjoying their ride. It’s about encouraging safer riding behaviours, ensuring bikes are in good condition, and taking action where we see dangerous activity that puts lives at ris

The below camera will be activated, and advice letters issued for the first 4 weeks following their listed activation date.
Highways authorities install fixed cameras where the risk of a collision is highest. They encourage people to drive within the speed limits and keep us all safer on the road.
GoSafe will process the offences captured by the camera scheme and use advice letters for the first 4 weeks once it’s active.
These letters allow GoSafe to engage first and tell people the correct speed limit, instead of using educational courses or prosecutions. An advice letter will only be offered to people who haven’t already received one in Wales.
GoSafe recognises that most people want to drive safely through their communities. However, if they were unaware of the correct speed limit, they may be regularly passing a fixed camera and unknowingly breaking the law. This could put people at risk of losing their licence.
