Highways officials in Wirral have launched a trial alteration from today (April 23rd) to the traffic light signals at the Spital crossroads to assess its impact on safety and traffic flow at the junction.
An Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) system has been installed to support the implementation of Wirral’s first School Street scheme covering Greenleas Primary School.
Drivers caught breaking the speed limit outside Black Horse Hill Junior School on Saughall Massie Road were given the choice of taking a fixed penalty or being questioned about their driving before a special ‘kids court’ made up of a panel of pupils from the school.
As the school term starts and the journeys to and from school return, more of our children will be travelling actively thanks to the efforts of Wirral schools to become Modeshift accredited.
As councillors voted to implement the second phase of 20mph speed limits, motorists travelling along some of those roads affected by phase one of the road safety scheme are starting to see signs of enforcement activity.
