The construction of child-friendly cities is an important topic in major cities today. The 14th Five-Year Plan also mentioned the development of 100 demonstrations of child-friendly cities, and the school environment closely related to children’s travel has become the focus of attention. Based on the safety perspective of the child-friendly concept, this paper integrates the special needs of children and previous research experience on children’s independent travel paths and road space at home and abroad through a literature review and in-depth research. Data from the PSPL survey (map marking method, on-site counting method, on-the-spot investigation method, and interview method) were used to evaluate, analyze and propose optimization strategies from three aspects: children’s health and safety, pedestrian traffic safety, and social monitoring. This was done in order to improve the urban school environment. Child-friendliness and refined design provide support to promote autonomous learning by urban children.
