I don't want them outside schools either.
What's the point people slowing to 30 outside schools? All it does is minimise the damage if you hit someone. And why is hitting and killing or maiming a child so much worse than hitting and killing or maiming an adult?
As usual with this country, it's 'blame blame blame'. The solution is NOT more cameras, it's for more parents to give a damn about their wretched kids instead of seeing them as a means to get a free house and tons of cash off the taxpayer.
Parents need to drum it into their kids that you DO NOT GO NEAR roads as they are DANGEROUS. Instead we get this modern crap about them having 'the right to do what they like' even if that means playing on main roads, and then punishing anyone who dares to impinge upon that. Pathetic.
Whether we like it or not, roads have cars on them. Moving cars can kill you. Therefore pedestrians need to stay away from roads unless absolutely necessary, and even then with a due sense of danger and caution.
Bring back the Green Cross Code!
