SPEED LIMIT AND ROAD SAFETY

That this House welcomes proposals that would result in speed limits being reduced in areas where there is a high risk of accidents, in particular the recommendation that there be a 20 mph speed limit around schools and in residential areas; notes that between 2005 and 2007, 2,376 people were killed and 14,577 were seriously injured in road accidents where excessive speed was recorded as a contributory factor and that on average eight people die on the road every day; recognises the need for roads to be made safer; and calls for these recommendations to be implemented as soon as possible throughout the country.
