The star rating protocol, set out by the International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP), is a way to measure how safe our roads are. Every five years, our road network is surveyed and independently assessed to calculate star ratings. The highest risk roads are 1-star rated, while those which pose the least risk for road users are 4-star or even 5-star rated.

At National Highways, the safety of everyone on our network matters. We recognise the wide reaching and devastating impact of suicide for both individuals and communities and the important role we can play in supporting a wider community-based approach to suicide prevention. Our Suicide prevention strategy sets out our vision that no one attempts to take their life on our roads. Our approach focuses on multi-agency working and will allow us to make a real difference to reduce the numbers of suicides on our network. Suicide is not inevitable, it is preventable.

This report explains how National Highways is preparing for a changing climate in its work on the strategic road network.

No one should be harmed when travelling or working on the strategic road network. Achieving this requires fresh thinking and innovative approaches towards health, safety and wellbeing across the industry. This document sets out our approach.
