Speeding Near Schools

EDM number 1234 in 2008-09, proposed by Keith Vaz on 31/03/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Roads and Schools.

That this House has serious concerns about the speeding of motorists, particularly in close proximity to schools; notes that between 2005 and 2007, the latest period for which figures are available, police officers attended 14,577 accidents in which someone was seriously injured and speeding was listed as a contributory factor; is alarmed that in 2007 speeding contributed to 727 deaths; welcomes the fact that the Government was forecast to spend £1,815,000 on television advertising to make people aware of the dangers and consequences of driving in excess of the speed limit in 2008-09; and calls on the Government to implement 20 mph speed limits in areas surrounding schools.

This motion has been signed by a total of 56 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
