Here are some ideas of what you can do on 20th October 2008 to create local
interest in your community for a default 20 mph speed limit for residential
streets :-
Write or email all your local councillors asking what they are doing meet the
needs of local communities for lower speeds. Use one of our templates.
| Write or email all your local councillors and MP asking what they
are doing meet the needs of local communities for lower speeds. Use one
of our templates. Send copies to the local press. |
| Create a petition and get names from parents waiting to collect
their children from schools. Point out that you want to protect children
not only around the schools but on their complete journey walking or
cycling to home. |
| Ensure that when driving in residential roads you do so at a maximum
speed of 20 mph. |
| Do a commuting challenge with one person driving to the town centre
never going over 20 mph in non A/B roads and the other person going at
the prevailing speed of the traffic. measure the two times to show how
little difference it makes to journey times. Then publish the results to
the local press. |
But these are just our ideas. If you have any more of your own please email
us and we will add them to this page.
