Petition Action

Remove requirement of reported incidents before putting road safety measures in place

Additional Information

We want the government to remove the requirement of previously reported incidents on a section of road before road safety measures are put in place.

Current requirements to install road safety measures (traffic calming or reduced speed limits) include the evidence of previous reported accidents at the site. If no incidents were reported in recent years, no safety measures will be put in place. This is a requirement that does not encourage prevention of road accidents.

If an accident has taken place with serious or fatal consequences then it's already too late to start thinking about safety measures.
