What Works?
• Speed Cameras• Traffic calming• 20 mph speed limits• Road safety education and
training• Enforcement campaigns
• And many of the other initiatives
Issues
• Increasing potential for road crashes and injury
• Driving behaviour – speed, young people
• Professionals can’t deliver road safety alone
• We have created a dependency culture
How do we deal with the issues?
• Carry on with what we are good at
• Keep pressing for the things we need
• Continue to involve local communities and give them responsibility
Safer Together
