IT’S pretty certain that many motorists will not be happy being forced to slow down to 20mph near schools on main roads.
But Bolton Council’s dedication to bringing in safer speed limits to cut down road accidents involving children is impressive and should be welcomed by all sensible drivers.
Flashing 20mph hazard warning signs near such schools are to be installed right across the borough so we had all better get used to the idea.
What is more important: that we get to our destination just a little bit quicker or that we save a child’s life? There’s no contest.
