With the school summer holidays on the horizon, motorists in Brigg and district are being urged to support the campaign Twenty's Plenty and keep their speed to a minimum, with more children being out and about on our streets.
"Although the speed limit could be 30mph, 20 is more appropriate," says Pete Scott, North Lincolnshire's head of safer roads.
Leaflets are available publicising this important message road safety staff are keen to get over to motorists.

The Highway Code indicates that a motorist should 'make progress' and 'travel at a speed to suit the road conditions'.
Therefore, on an clear, uncluttered road, one should travel as fstt as the speed limit allows.
On an urban 30mph road littered with parked cars, wandering kids, fluffy animals and folks with poor eyesight, wobbly legs and crezy drivers one should travel at a safe speed... 'reading the road' in the response rates of both oneself.. and of other road users.
