Did you know that driving at 40mph in a 30mph zone is now seen as more acceptable than dropping litter on the street; however the 10 mph difference between the two speeds could mean the difference between life and death in the event of a crash.
The Kent and Medway Safety Camera Partnership supported by Kent Fire and Rescue Service and Medway Council are on a mission to help prevent crashes on the roads by making motorists more aware of the speed limit in built up areas with their campaign "Street Lights Mean 30".
The campaign brings to life the streetlight singers to help you remember this important message.
The 'Streetlight Singers', dressed in 9ft high streetlight costumes, will be performing a special 'Streetlight Song' throughout the day on Friday 18 th July in Whitefriars, Canterbury, and will be joined by the Streetlights Team handing out free goodies and helpful information.
Rachel Wall, Communications Manager for the partnership commented "A recent study has shown that over 73% of drivers are unaware that a streetlight generally means that you are driving in a 30mph zone unless otherwise stated. Our campaign is to highlight in a light hearted way but with a serious message that streetlights means 30."
