New safety measures are planned on two major roads in Nottingham.
Nottingham City Council has outlined a £1.4m plan to "reduce the risk of future accidents and deaths" on the A609 and the A6130.
New 20mph speed limits are proposed as well as new pedestrian crossings, better road surfaces and more signs.
The work will take place along Ilkeston Road and Wollaton Road and Gregory Boulevard, Radford Boulevard and Lenton Boulevard.
The stretches have been designated "high risk" by the council which successfully bid for government cash for the scheme, the Local Democracy Reporting Service said.
Angela Kandola the council's portfolio holder for transport, said: "We're pleased to win this funding from central government to help us make these key routes in and out of the city safer for everyone, reducing the risk of future accidents and deaths, as well as creating two school safety zones with a lowered 20mph speed limit to further protect our children and young people."
The plans include:
The A609 Ilkeston Road and Wollaton Road and the A6130 Gregory Boulevard, Radford Boulevard and Lenton Boulevard will be upgraded and improved
On the A6130, a proposed 20mph speed limit will be introduced outside Djanogly City Academy on Gregory Boulevard
A zebra crossing will also be installed on Gregory Boulevard alongside a central hatching to narrow the road
On the A6130 Lenton Boulevard, between Church Street and Abbey Bridge roundabout, another school safety scheme will feature outside Edna G Olds Primary and Dunkirk Primary
A new section of bus lane will also be installed on the inbound Ring Road with dedicated space for cyclists and dedicated signalised pedestrian crossings will be introduced at the three arm Triumph Road junction
A consultation on the measure is planned in the coming weeks with construction set to start in 2025.
