20's Plenty for Europe?

In 2011 we were invited to Brussels to talk to MEPs and EU officials about the success of our campaign in the UK. This was especially relevent because the EU Transport and Tourism Committee were developing their report on Road safety in the EU.

We were delighted that on 21st June the committee approved the report. In its press release the committee announced :-

"MEPs call for a 30km/h speed limit in all residential areas and on single-lane roads without cycle tracks, to help cut the number of children under 14 years old killed on roads by 60% and those seriously injured by 40%. They also say children should be taught road safety at the youngest possible age."

This set of videos gives an idea of our involvement.
