A Guide for Councillors in England
Roads are essential to our everyday lives and economic prosperity and we all use them by driving,riding, walking or travelling as a passenger. Unfortunately, people are killed and injured when using the road, but a comprehensive road safety strategy can reduce the number of deaths and injuries despite increasing traffic levels.
Central government sets the regulatory framework for roads, vehicles and road users, and the country’s national road safety strategy.
The ROSPA: Road Safety Guide for Councillors in England is available here.
