(1) Road safety campaigners are calling for the transformation of UK city streets as a report is launched today revealing that drivers do not think that it is safe for children to walk around because of the threat of traffic and that they support prioritising walking and cycling in urban areas.
(2) The report, by road safety charity Brake and Direct Line and based on a survey of 1,000 drivers, found that two thirds think that it is often not safe for children to move around by walking in UK cities because of the threat of traffic.
