    There is no minimum speed of 30mph on British motorways

    They also have absolutely no reason to cross the road at the roundabout or at any point on the bypass because there is no footpath on the opposite side of the road. In fact the grass verge on the opposite side of the road is too narrow to walk on so why would anyone be crossing the road there regardless of where they live?

    The school is set back a long way from the road and is quite safe. It would be completely the 15 year olds choice to walk out into the middle of a road when there is a bridge to the only place you can safely walk.

    I disagree entirely. A traffic light controlled junction where cars are told when they can enter the junction is far safer than a roundabout where the driver chooses when he or she thinks it is safer.

    This backs up my point above. 'chucking the car into the tight little curves' outside a school entrance is safe is it? It would be far safer if you were forced to stop your car at the schools busy times.
