Details
The government has a manifesto commitment to reduce the number of cyclists and other road users killed or injured on our roads every year. This ‘British road safety statement’ sets out the scope of forthcoming actions on:
road safety management
safer roads and mobility
safer vehicles
safer road users
post-crash response
The statement will be followed by a series of consultations on specific road safety issues. It’s useful for anyone interested in understanding the government’s approach to improving road safety.
The road safety statement is intended to cover road safety policy as governed by the Department for Transport within Britain.
Guidance summarising the responsibilities for road safety policy and laws in the United Kingdom is available.
