20 zones proposed around here now, not really related to proximity to schools. There is a local plan for improving cycle access, often by reducing road and junction widths considerably to allow for dedicated cycle lanes. Alongside which they are proposing reduced traffic speed as there will be less road for vehicles.
It's all part of the council's efforts towards green society, of which I am mostly supportive (but won't be starting cycling!!).
The problem with the cycle lanes we have is that the cyclists often don't use them.
