Cally, who lives in North Wingfield, said: "The road is ridiculously busy every morning and afternoon.
"It's a main road through to Chesterfield and buses pass every ten minutes.
"Our children's safety should be a priority. We ask the council to provide North Wingfield Primary School with a controlled crossing outside it.
"The road is currently an accident waiting to happen."

"Since the new school was opened last summer we have been monitoring the situation and will consider the petition when it's submitted."
