Brake wants the Government to fund local authorities to implement 20mph speed limits in towns, villages and cities, alongside other measures to protect people on foot.
A survey of 1,000 parents by Brake, in partnership with Churchill Car Insurance, found nine in ten parents believe that fast traffic poses a danger to families and children in their community, and eight in ten would support a 20mph speed limit around homes, schools and shops.
Three in four parents said they would also walk more if the safety of nearby roads was improved by, for instance, putting in more crossings and lowering speed limits.
A Beep Beep! road safety day was held at Guildford Children’s Centre in Surrey today.
