This report aims to provide the Motorists’ Forum with an assessment of factors and constraints influencing delivery of the road safety strategy, both now and up to 2010, and to outline key issues requiring further investigation in order to inform additional actions that should be taken by Government, local authorities, and others to strengthen delivery of the current strategy and to look beyond 2010. The report begins by placing itself in the context of the Government’s road safety strategy and targets for 2010, relevant aspects of the integrated transport policy and other government policies. It then addresses key aspects of delivery of the strategy by identifying a range of policies and measures that offer scope for appreciable acceleration in delivery. It goes on to outline the numerical basis for the targets and the basis in data and research for the strategy and for assessment of its implementation. Areas for further research are identified and recommendations for action are made. Supporting information and more detailed thinking about the future scope for casualty reduction are presented in appendices. (Author/publisher)
