This June we’re focusing on Shared Spaces and making roads safer for all.

Roads are shared by drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists and other road users. Safer shared spaces rely on awareness, lower speeds and considerate behaviour.

Road safety isn’t just compliance - it’s smart business:
Lower costs – Fewer collisions mean reduced insurance
Protect your people – Safer journeys boost morale
Enhance reputation – A strong safety record wins trust

Accidents affect us in all aspects of our lives. But they don’t affect us equally. 1.2 million lives are lost in road collisions each year – 92% of these occur in low- or middle-income countries, despite only having 60% of the world’s vehicles.

Flu Season Reminder: Is Your Team Fit to Drive?

[Heidi Alexander MP @Heidi_Labour]

On #NationalPotholeDay, I've written for @LBC about how we are ending the pothole plague.

Record funding and new traffic light accountability measures means drivers won't have to shell out for costly repairs.🕳️🚗

@sharonmoore58 Me too! (Tufty Club and clean licence).

Agree that road safety education - starting in primary schools - is vitally important.

🚗🍺 Drink‑drive limits under the spotlight

RoSPA’s Steve Cole told @BBC News there’s “very strong evidence” alcohol impairs driving. Under new plans, drivers at the legal limit could be 6× more likely to be killed.

🚫 None for the road.

Today I am proud to announce our Road Safety Strategy.

4 people die on our roads every day - that’s unacceptable.

This Government is taking bold action: cracking down on drink & drug driving, mandating advanced safety tech in vehicles, and investing in safer infrastructure.

[Lilian Greenwood @LilianGreenwood]

This week we will announce our new Road Safety Strategy - a plan focused on saving lives, protecting communities and making every journey safer. Improving safety on our roads is essential, and I’m determined we get this right. https://t.co/PSZguVIz6Y
