 Children from Cadbury Heath School helped design the signs |
Children in South Gloucestershire are helping cut local traffic speeds. New signs warning motorists to drive slower in the Barrs Court and Cadbury Heath areas have been designed by local schoolchildren.
The designs, which incorporate a safety message, will be put in 20mph zone signs in the area.
The 20mph zone is part of a casualty reduction scheme being introduced by the council to improve road safety in the Craven Way area this year.
The new measures will build on existing traffic calming measures already introduced, which include: improvements to the cycleway; a new zebra crossing; speed cushions and coloured road surfacing at crossing points.
Between January 2000 and December 2003 there were 15 injury accidents in the Craven Way area.
These included four accidents involving child cyclists, one accident involving a pedestrian and three accidents involving motorcyclists.
