New Directions for Route Safety
Tuesday, November 25, 2008
Royal Over-Seas League, Over-Seas House
Park Place, St James's Street, London SW1A 1LR
During the past ten years a focus on route safety has emerged as one of the key developments in delivering road casualty reduction. A variety of innovations and intervention schemes have been designed and implemented, and there is some evidence of significant benefits being achieved in reducing traffic speeds and casualties. However, there is a wide variation in development, experience and evaluation of route safety management schemes. There is also some concern about the need to maintain progress on casualty reduction especially for the numbers killed or seriously injured on our roads. Policy makers will need to refresh road safety strategies, and practitioners learn from experience and share good practice whilst continuing to innovate.
At this conference IHT and CSS (County Surveyors Society) are bringing together a combination of research and experience in this developing area of interest. Key topics will include the results from research commissioned by CSS on Route Safety Management, and progress on the government’s Rural Demonstration Projects. The programme will also feature the roles of the road user, technology, education and enforcement.
The aim of the conference is to share the results of research, evaluation and experience and to inform the debate on the future approach towards managing route safety and engaging road users. There will be a session devoted to ideas from delegates with the opportunity to debate with a panel of experts in the field.
Why You Should Attend
- The opportunity to share in good practice development and consider how to achieve improved casualty reduction through route safety management.
- In 2009/10 Highway Authorities will be developing their next Local Transport Plans and funding bids to central Government for highways and transport infrastructure maintenance and improvement. The future role of route safety management will need to be considered in developing these plans.
- As we approach 2010 there will be new strategies and targets to consider for road safety casualty reduction. What part will your organisation play in terms of improving route safety?
Who Should Attend
- Local authority elected members and officials concerned with highways & transport safety
- Local road safety partnerships
