Abstract

The principles of a national road safety strategy for the UK are outlined. These include that road safety cannot be divorced from a range of other policy initiatives, that improving safety and increasing mobility and accessibility for all road users must go hand in hand, that all people have a part to play in creating a safer and more pleasant environment, that changes in attitude are necessary for all road users, existing legislation should be properly and fully enforced, accident causation should be fully investigated instead of simply blaming human error, and that human and financial resources must be allocated to solve problems. Measures to help achieve a national road safety strategy are outlined. There is now a professional agenda for change in road safety that accepts the need to improve the safety of all road users without bias towards one sector or another.
