Review highway code for vulnerable road users and fund a tv awareness campaign

Reinstate the 'Charley Says' public information adverts to protect children
We ask the Government to reinstate the classic 'Charley Says' public information ads on television and online, featuring Charley the cat.

Remove speed cameras from motorways to improve safety and fairness
We want the Government to remove speed cameras from motorways in England. There is strong evidence that they distract drivers, cause sudden braking and confusion when limits change, and increase accident risk. The focus should be on education and clear, consistent speed limits instead.
