Motorists would be forced to keep to 40 kilometres per hour around childcare centres under a proposal from a City of Sydney councillor to reduce the number of children hit and killed by cars.

If the proposal is approved, the City of Sydney council will also call on the state government and opposition to implement road safety measures near childcare centres around the state.
