Anyone who has driven along Aylesbury Road (A413) southwards into Wendover will be aware that many local school children use this main road as a route to school.
With an infant, junior and secondary school on the same campus as well as several pre-schools, there is a considerable amount of children along with their parents/carers who take this route towards Wharf Road.
This road has a 30mph limit which is often exceeded at peak times by some motorists.
We would like to suggest having an automated speed sign showing motorists their speeds as they approach Wendover - ideally situated opposite Haglis Drive (the old location of a speed camera) on the incoming side of the road where a large number of children walk to and from school. The pavement in this area is also a shared cycle path and additionally the point where senior school students embark and disembark from school buses and there is not any type of pedestrian crossing along this stretch of the road.
Such a sign will remind drivers they are in a 30mph speed zone and allow pedestrians to walk safely and without fear of speeding motorists.
We would like Bucks County Council to consider installing an automated speed awareness sign on the approach to Wendover (A413) for the safety of pedestrians and the many school children who use this route as a 'Safer Route To School'.
