Campaign launched to enforce 20mph limit outside schools

A new campaign to enforce 20mph speed limits outside schools has been launched in Wales.

GoSafe has warned that, despite 20mph speed limits being implemented outside schools, they are routinely disregarded by drivers passing by, which is putting schoolchildren at risk.

Welsh local authorities, police forces and the Welsh Government are working in partnership on the campaign, which hopes to crack down on drivers ignoring speed limits and encouraging drivers to drive legally and safely.

Chris Hume, partnership manager at GoSafe, said: “Our continued focus on 20mph limits around schools is part of our commitment to safer communities, and to protect the most vulnerable road users; our children.

“We want the support of all drivers, and we want compliance with 20 mph limits to become the norm.”
