In September 2000, the UK Department for Transport, Local Government and the Regions (DLTR) assigned TRL the task of drafting the Road Safety Good Practice Guide. The DTLR project objectives, the preparation of the Guide, the consultation stage, and the Guide's structure and content are outlined. The target readership was to be local authority staff. The Guide needed to be easily updated and expanded as new knowledge became available. All local regional government offices were contacted to seek their opinions of what they thought should be incorporated in the Guide and to obtain information on schemes they had installed and found effective in rural and urban areas. Popular schemes included the installation of pedestrian crossings, coloured road surfaces, humps, speed cameras and gateways into villages.
