ARE PART TIME 20MPH SCHOOL ZONES THE ANSWER?

One of the things I am asking the Transportation department to consider is piloting "part time" 20mph zones around some of the schools in Oscott.
Introducing these would mean establishing Zones near schools where the speed limit would be 20 mph for the times when children and coming and going to school.
These times would allow the busy evening rush hour and none school days to remain free of the proposed 20mph restrictions.
Old Oscott Hill, Greenholm Road and part of the Bandywood Road near Kingsland school are just 3 roads I think could be considered as pilots.
What do you think.
Please let me have your thoughts Em Keith.Linnecor@birmingham.gov.uk.
