The '20 is Plenty Make it Seen!' initiative addresses increasing near-misses and accidents around Crest Academy due to drivers disregarding the 20 mph speed limit. Headteacher Andrea Rosewell stated that current signs lack visibility, prompting student involvement for more effective solutions. A competition produced over 500 entries, with six designs selected for vibrant posters placed on Crest Road to enhance driver awareness. The project involves collaboration among students, community leaders, and local officials, aiming to inspire further actions by Brent Council to ensure child safety and compliance with speed limits.
The current signs don't command attention. We empowered our students to create solutions ensuring drivers see and heed the life-saving limit that already exists.
Students transformed invisible rules into undeniable demands for child safety. Their vibrant posters are a powerful call for drivers to protect our children.
The campaign directly targets the driver complacency that has ignored existing signs, turning the road into a gallery of vigilance.
The school hopes the posters will prompt Brent Council to explore extra measures to curb speeding, such as better signage or physical calming features.
