Project information

Overview

We’re always exploring ways to make our roads safer through a better understanding of driver behaviour.  We do this using collision data, risk assessments and insights.

We're proposing several speed management changes to reduce collisions.

Safety is and will always be our number one priority.

Our ambition remains that no-one should be harmed while travelling or working on our roads.

Achieving this shared vision will benefit:

  • the country as a whole
  • families and individuals whose lives continue to be affected by collisions on our roads.
