The children at St George’s Primary School, in Middleton St George, came up with a series of designs for new road signs to illustrate a local 20mph speed limit.
Pupils Sam Giblin and Andrew Morrison produced the winning designs after representatives of Darlington Council’s Road Safety Team visited the school to give a special presentation.
The signs have been erected outside the school, where the new limit is in force to curb motorists’ speed.
Head teacher Janine Gleeson said: “The children worked very hard coming up with their signs and we are delighted to see Sam and Andrew’s designs getting the road safety message across.”
