As schools in Rotherham return after the summer break, 20mph warning signs
are being introduced as part of the Council’s commitment to improve road
safety.
The scheme urges traffic to slow down with “children” warning triangle signs
together with activated flashing amber warning lights which indicate when
the20 mph speed limit is in operation. Outside of these periods the speed
limit will revert back to normal.
The scheme was introduced to a number of Rotherham schools last year and has
now been rolled out to a further five schools, ready for the new school
term. The schools to recently benefit include Aston Academy, Bramley
Sunnyside Juniors, Swinton Brookfield Academy, Harthill Primary and
Thrybergh Primary.
Councillor Emma Hoddinott, Rotherham Council’s Cabinet Member for Waste,
Roads and Community Safety, said: “We are rolling out these signs to raise
motorists’ awareness when they are passing schools and encourage them to
reduce their speed. If someone is hit by a car at 30mph they are 50 per cent
more likely to be killed, compared to 10 per cent likely at 20mph.
Local ward Councillor, Cllr Ken Wyatt, added: “I am glad to have these new
advisory signs on Lime Grove to help remind motorists to drive safely and
keep the welfare of children and residents walking to school at the
forefront of their minds.”
A further five schemes will be introduced at Thorpe Hesley Junior and
Infants, St Bede’s Primary, Meadow View Primary, Winterhill School,
Kimberworth Primary and Ferham Primary.
