Thank you to @lisasmartmp.bsky.social for asking @heidialexander.bsky.social department when the new strategy to address road death & road danger will be published - the answer -later this year”. Not a whole lot clearer but better than “unlikely to be before 2026” I had been told. #StopRoadDeath

Imagine a transport system where ‘we’ think almost 5 deaths a day from rail, maritime, or air travel were an acceptable price for rail, maritime or air travel? Thankfully, we don’t have to!

Yet, ‘we’ accept that level of risk for travelling on Britain’s roads …

Go fathom …. !!

As part of a Safe System to #StopRoadDeath safe roads, including maintenance and pot hole repair, need to feature and be connected with road danger and not just vehicle damage or inconvenience. Badly maintained roads can be a contributory factor to death or serious injury. See @metrouk.bsky.social ⬇️

Road death / road danger: We have not had a national strategy to #StopRoadDeath for 15 years - we are told one is on its way, and it will include the Safe System approach; a focus on areas of high risk, including young drivers, and it will be guided by the evidence. If these promises … next …
