Call for evidence description

We are reviewing existing roads policing to:

  • identify which current methods are most effective
  • understand how the capability and capacity of enforcement services can be enhanced to improve safety and reduce future casualties on roads

As part of the review we are exploring how:

  • we can better use intelligence to target dangerous behaviours
  • technology can assist in enforcing road traffic law now and in the future
  • to better understand the value of enforcement in influencing road user behaviour

Since 2010, we have seen a plateauing in the number of people killed and seriously injured on our roads after years of steadily declining numbers and have instituted this review to combat that situation.
