The Welsh Government has published for consultation a Draft Road Safety Delivery Plan with the closing date for comment of 13th December. At the heart of the document is the vision of "A continued reduction in the number of people killed and seriously injured on Welsh roads with the ultimate goal of no fatalities in the future". The document highlights the government aspiration to tackle avoidable deaths in a systematic way - a laudable aim. The publication of this document also demonstrates the changing pattern and approach to road safety in the post-devolution context. Perhaps it is now time to review all the strategy documents to see which is the most effective. (Author/publisher)
