The road safety charity Brake says lives would be saved
A campaigning charity today called for mandatory speed limits of 20mph on ALL roads near schools to reduce the number of child crash deaths.
The charity's campaigns manager, Lucy Straker, said: "We speak to lots of schools where teachers are doing everything they can to make the roads near their school safe, but ultimately they need support from their local council and decision-makers. Why do we have to wait until a child is killed before we act?
"We're calling for roads around every school to have 20mph speed limits – and other measures to effectively reduce traffic speed – so children and their families can travel safely to and from school every day." "One parent had their car door taken off by a passing car. That could easily have been a child, parent or carer being hit.
