Decrease the speed limit on country roads for the protection of animals

Decrease the speed limit on country roads to reduce the number of animals killed by cars, which could also reduce the number of accidents. This could also help the conservation of rare species that are frequently killed by vehicles, such as muntjacs and red squirrels.

We think there are too many native species that are being killed due to the changing environment around roads and highways. We are concerned that that fast drivers could endanger certain species. We think slowing down vehicles would give animals/drivers more time to react and also reduce the amount of dangerous crashes caused by people driving fast on small roads.
