Walking to school

Walktoschoolweek_2 Next week is Walk to School Week. It still spooks me a bit to think things are so bad that such a campaign is necessary, but as the site tells us,

Walking to school is an adventure for children and a great way to develop basic life skills.

And I learned something new as I read... It says here that 'contrary to popular belief, pedestrians generally experience the lowest levels of exposure of all road users.'

What do you exactly mean by Walking to School? Should I take ‘walking’ literally? What’s the purpose of this campaign? Are you saving gas or joining the anti-pollution campaign?

Here in our place, the government repaints and gives each pedestrian a makeover a month before the school year starts. I guess our case makes pedestrians more exposed.
