Road Safety

  • Casualty reduction partnership
    Working in partnership with five key partners, we have been able to demonstrate dramatic and sustained casualty reductions in high risk areas.

  • Dangerous road junctions
    We continually assess our road network to determine safety of individual routes and road junctions.

  • Drive assessment and training
    Good driver training can raise road safety awareness and cut collision rates. Do you employ drivers? A range of driver training and assessments are available from the Casualty Reduction Unit.

  • Pedestrian crossings
    There are many different types of pedestrian crossings which encourage people to walk and improve safety.  Contact us to request a new pedestrian crossing.

  • Road safety cameras
    On average, nine people are killed and 85 injured each day on the UK's roads. Safety cameras help to reduce speeding and make the roads safer.

  • Speed limits
    Speed is a significant factor in about one third of road accidents in the United Kingdom, speed limits help to ensure greater road safety.

  • Tourist Signing
    Tourist signs ensure that highway users are safely guided along the most appropriate route. Includes downloadable application form.

  • Traffic calming
    Traffic Calming schemes are introduced to solve an identified problem in one or more roads and can play an important role in helping to cut personal injury accidents.

  • Traffic schemes
    Details of 'Red Routes' and other minor schemes.
