â Britain has the highest percentage of pedestrian road fatalities in Europe.
â Britain has one of the lowest levels of children walking or cycling to school in Europe.

“Surely this is a no brainer. 20mph should be the default limit on residential roads and those past schools, and it should be rigidly enforced.”
