Road safety

Good morning everyone.

This week we had some visitors come to see us in the school playground. Lorna from the Glasgow Road Safety team came to help us with our campaign to make the new entrance on St Andrews Drive safer.
She has loaned us two parking buddies, be sure to look out for them and slow down when you see them!

she also brought along 2 speed guns for us to use. We think that too many cars are driving over the speed limit when driving on this road and now that most of us use this road every day we need to change this!

we all got a turn of using the speed gun and clocking the speed of a passing car. Shockingly, almost 3/4 of the cars we saw were speeding! The fastest we recorded was 48 miles per hour! We were horrified!

hopefully these records will help our campaign to install some traffic calming  measures on St Andrews Drive. But for now, please take care when you are out on the road!

We will keep you updated on our campaign. We are working hard writing letters to the government asking for change as well as creating a podcast to deliver our message.
