Councils urged to adopt 30km/h limits

A grieving mum whose son died after he was struck by a car three years ago is glad local authorities around the country are being urged to introduce 30km/h zones in urban areas.

Roseann Brennan’s six-year-old son Jake died in her arms after being knocked down by a car outside his home in Kilkenny in June 2014.

Determined that her son’s name and spirit would live on, Ms Brennan founded the campaign group Jake’s Legacy to push for strict 30km/h speed limits in residential areas.
