Summer journey planning - Have a safe TRIP

21 July 2023

National Highways is responsible for operating, maintaining and improving 4,500 miles of England’s motorways and major A-roads, linking towns, cities, ports and airports, and getting people to where they need to be on time – safely and reliably.

To support this vision and help road users to stay - and feel - safe on the road network, National Highways has developed a new road safety campaign - Have a safe TRIP - that demonstrates to drivers how to prepare for long journeys during holiday periods.

• Rest
• Inspect
• Prepare

The campaign goal is to encourage drivers to plan their journey in advance, including all necessary vehicle checks as well as factoring in rest stops before they set off on long journeys this summer. The campaign aims to reach all road users, but with a focus on families and young drivers. Families are a priority, due to the likelihood of day trips and holidays in England this summer.
