Leicestershire County Council’s Road Safety Strategy
Added at 00:03 on 09 April 2024
The UK has some of the safest roads in the world. In Leicestershire we’ve been successfully delivering a wide range of road safety initiatives for decades.
Our Road Safety Strategy explains our approach to road safety and, for the first time, sets out our work in one document. Although this is not a new approach or policy, it is an opportunity for us to let our communities know what we do, how we do it and how our approach may need to evolve in the future to meet new challenges.
We have also set ambitious new casualty reduction targets, aiming for a 40% reduction in killed or seriously injured casualties by 2035 (medium term) and zero deaths caused by road traffic collisions by 2050 (long term).
A four-week consultation is open from Monday 25 March to Monday 22 April 2024. We want to hear your views on our approach to road safety and our ambitious casualty reduction targets. Your feedback will influence how our Strategy evolves going forward. The consultation can be accessed on our ‘Have Your Say’ webpage here.
