Please sign our petition to reduce the speed limit outside Riverside Primary School from 30MPH down 20PMH.

The speed limit along most of Brighton Street is 20MPH however, outside our school it is 30MPH.  

As identified by the National Association of City Transportation Officials, streets with high-speed limits are more likely to have pedestrian fatalities. According to their research, risk of severe injury for pedestrians struck by a vehicle traveling at 20 mph is only 18%, while at 30 mph, it's 47%, and for those struck at 40 mph, it's a shocking 79% (National Association of City Transportation Officials).

The safety of our children getting to school is paramount particularly as we no longer have a crossing patrol service. We believe in the power of community action and therefore, plead with our local authorities to take immediate action and reduce the speed limit on the roads around our school.

Make your voice heard and help us ensure the safety of our children. Please, sign this petition.
