A campaigning charity today called for mandatory speed limits of 20mph on ALL roads near schools to reduce the number of child crash deaths.
Brake, which campaigns to boost road safety, said cutting speed limits 'saves lives', as official Department for Transport figures show 2,456 children aged under 16 were killed or seriously injured on Britain's roads last year.
Many councils have already introduced 20mph zones around schools, but Brake said nearly two-thirds of parents reported that some roads near their children’s schools have higher limits.
