If it saves lives, it certainly is worth it, but it is likely to be turned into a political football, and kicked into touch eventually anyway – but in the meantime, even one child spared is a huge gain!
20mph have been around schools for sometime now, even some estates! This is not the issue, rather almost all arterial roads have become 20mph. This is bonkers considering the likes of kids don’t play on these roads. I’m surprised they never included the M4 with there near blanket 20mph.
On my way taking daughter to school, I saw the council changing the signs in one particular area (roads of a roundabout) After fetching my daughter from school I approached a brightly coloured new sign saying 30mph as I approached the roundabout from a residential street – to the left and right of the roundabout the signs said 20mph, ahead of the roundabout the sign said 20mph? Figure that one out 🙂
