Noa's art to highlight the new 20mph default speed limit
A Gwynedd school pupil will have his artwork displayed on roadsides near schools across Wales to encourage drivers to respect the new 20mph default speed limit on most 30mph streets in Wales, from Sunday 17 September.
A Welsh Government and Road Safety Wales competition earlier this year captured the imagination of more than 2,000 talented young artists. Pupils in Year 5 to Year 8, in primary and secondary schools across Wales, were challenged to create designs.
Eminent graphic designer and creator of many timeless UK road signs, Margaret Calvert, was amongst the judging panel which chose a design by Noa Williams, now in Year 8 at Ysgol Ardudwy, in Gwynedd, as the overall winner.
Teresa Ciano, Chair of Road Safety Wales said, “In classrooms and homes in every local authority, children considered and discussed imaginative ways to visually promote this ground-breaking road safety development to increase active travel, reduce road risk and protect our communities.
“The competition judges were presented with a very difficult task; resulting in Noa’s design being selected as the well-deserved overall winner. Congratulations Noa!"
