One city school sits within 200 metres of a
60mph zone, and cars speed in from the countryside. Yet there
are no speed cameras as a deterrent to save local children.
There are no electronic signs asking motorists to lower speed.
Not far away, another primary school finds
itself in the middle of a newly designated 20mph zone. Yet
because the school sits on a main road, the speed limit
outside remains at 30mph - a planning decision that seems
devoid of common sense.
