About the Road Safety FoundationThe Road Safety Foundation is a UK charity advocating road casualty reduction through
simultaneous action on all three components of the safe road system: roads, vehicles
and behaviour. The charity has enabled work across each of these components and has
published several reports which have provided the basis of new legislation, government
policy or practice.
For the last decade, the charity has focused on developing the Safe Systems approach,
and in particular leading the establishment of the European Road Assessment Programme
(EuroRAP) in the UK and, through EuroRAP, the global UK-based charity International Road
Assessment Programme (iRAP).
Since the inception of EuroRAP in 1999, the Foundation has been the UK member
responsible for managing the programme in the UK (and, more recently, Ireland), ensuring
that these countries provide a global model of what can be achieved.
The Foundation plays a pivotal role in raising awareness and understanding of the
importance of road infrastructure at all levels, through:
• annual publication of EuroRAP Risk Mapping and Performance Tracking in a form
which can be understood by the general public, policymakers and professionals alike;
• supporting use of the iRAP and EuroRAP protocols at an operational level by
road authorities, in order to support engineers in improving the safety of the road
infrastructure for which they are responsible; and
• proposing the strategies and goals that the government should set in order to
prevent tens of thousands of fatalities and disabling injuries.
The Road Safety Foundation was a founder member of the FIA Foundation (established
as an independent UK registered charity in 2001 by the Fédération Internationale de
l’Automobile (FIA) and frequently works with FIA members and other organisations both in
UK and abroad, including the RAC Foundation, the AA, IAM RoadSmart, RoadSafe, the
Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS) and professional bodies such
as the Association of Directors of Environment, Economy, Planning and Transport (ADEPT).
The formal objectives of the charity, which was founded in the 1980s, are to:
• carry out, or procure, research into all factors affecting the safe use of public roads;
• promote and encourage the safe use of public roads by all classes of road users
through the circulation of advice, information and knowledge gained from
research; and
• conceive, develop and implement programmes and courses of action designed
to improve road safety, which are to include the undertaking of any projects or

v Tackling High-Risk Regional Roads – Safer Roads Fund 2017/2018 viwww.racfoundation.org
As this report is published so we have just seen the 2017 road casualty statistics for Great
Britain. The picture they paint is distressingly familiar – a plateau in road deaths, averaging
five each day, over twenty-thousand serious injuries, the total of all injuries counted in the
hundreds of thousands.
It is all too easy to declare that something should be done to stem this tide of death and
injury without specifying exactly what that something should be.
That is why we were pleased to have the opportunity to support the work documented in
this report, and proud to be associated with the result.
The report provides a source document of practical, real-world examples where risk has
been identified, assessed and plans have been drawn up to reduce death and injury.
With local authority budgets under strain we hope that all those responsible for the
stewardship of our highways will read this report and take from it the fact that tackling road
risk isn’t all about high-cost, high-profile projects: it’s often about drawing on the existing
evidence base, and, above all, a determination to do something practical that works.

vii Tackling High-Risk Regional Roads – Safer Roads Fund 2017/2018 viiiwww.racfoundation.org
This report offers a real and new opportunity to tackle death and trauma on our roads.
Firstly, the report shows we can stop lives being ruined in large numbers if we apply new
techniques to hunt systematically for the most affordable measures to reduce the in-built risk
of road infrastructure.
Secondly, the report shows that if we do that, the economic returns to be expected are in
excess of those generated by most major transport projects if they are evaluated on the
same basis.
This is good news. The management of road infrastructure safety can take a step closer to
the approach used in medicine, mining, rail and aviation.
The innovation of the Safer Roads Fund has shown that better value for money and saving
lives can go hand-in-hand providing that safety projects are generated and financed in a way
that is proportionate to their importance and their returns.
The way that central government, local authorities and charities have partnered together has
been exemplary.
I am grateful to the RAC Foundation, which provided leadership and crucial seed corn
finance to kick-start this new systematic way of reducing road trauma.
Ministers and senior officials should be proud of their creativity in conceiving a Safer Roads
Fund targeted at the 50 most dangerous A-roads as an unarguable starting point for the
new approach.
The portfolio of projects has been developed to a demanding timetable. It has involved
training in new technologies able to measure and test how risks on the roads could be
reduced. Local authorities have quickly responded to the new potential to deliver major
reductions in road trauma.
The enemy now is loss of momentum. The new skills and learning must be consolidated and
applied to successive new portfolios before they slip away.
Unsurprisingly, the approach is already being emulated internationally. In Britain, local
authority cabinets, transport leaders and economic advisers everywhere must become
aware of this new art of the possible.

vii Tackling High-Risk Regional Roads – Safer Roads Fund 2017/2018 viiiwww.racfoundation.org
Executive Summary and Key ResultsContext
The number of people killed on Britain’s roads increased by just under 4% from 1,730 in
2015 to 1,793 in 2017, the highest annual total since 2011. In 2017, road traffic crashes had
a value of prevention of a staggering £35 billion, which is more than the UK spends on GP
services and primary schools combined.
International commitments to halve the number of road traffic deaths every decade will not
be met unless there is a step change in the way that this significant problem is tackled.
History
In November 2016, the Secretary of State for Transport announced a £3 billion roads
investment package. The Safer Roads Fund was allocated some of this for upgrading 50 of
England’s most dangerous local A-road sections.
The Safer Roads Fund covers the four financial years 2017/18 to 2020/1. The fund is
specifically targeted at delivering road upgrades and improvements to reduce the number
and severity of fatal and serious injury collisions on the 50 highest-risk local A-road sections,
based on the Road Safety Foundation’s 2016 analysis.
In total, 450 miles of roads were eligible for Rounds 1 and 2 of the Safer Roads Fund.
Approach
Countries across the world are now adopting the Safe System philosophy, which means
that they no longer simply blame road users for crashes, but instead are seeking to design a
system that will protect the road user from death or serious injury when crashes occur. This
is a fundamental change in approach, based on the principles of inevitability that crashes will
occur because humans are ‘error prone’, and the survivability of crashes based on known
tolerances of the human body to crash forces.
In approaching road safety engineering treatment, the Safe System philosophy necessitates
that road authorities proactively manage risk on their networks, rather than waiting for
crashes to occur before responding.
International research has shown how different road features contribute to the likelihood and
severity of crashes, so it is possible to identify and reduce risk based on an objective and
ix Tackling High-Risk Regional Roads – Safer Roads Fund 2017/2018 xwww.racfoundation.org
evidence-led methodology. This allows road authorities to take a ‘proactive’ risk assessment
approach when identifying potential treatments to reduce risk, in the same way as is applied
in other industries such as medicine, mining, aviation and, even, road worker safety.
To support local authorities in developing a business case for investment based on a risk
management approach, the DfT offered authorities the opportunity to use the International
Road Assessment Programme (iRAP) Star Rating methodology supported by Road Safety
Foundation. This methodology has now been used in around 80 countries, covering nearly
570,000 miles of roads.
The iRAP process allows engineers to review how risk changes along a route, and the sort
of treatments that might be cost-effective to reduce that risk. Road safety engineers can
then take this information, together with their local knowledge and expertise, and develop
their countermeasure plans.
The Road Safety Foundation developed a new way of modelling these plans, so that the
impact of different options could be assessed. This was done by developing a User-Defined
Investment Plan (UDIP) process that estimates the number of fatal and serious injuries (FSIs)
that should be prevented by each countermeasure.
Portfolio results
Together, the schemes will cost nearly £100 million, to be spent before March 2021. The
portfolio benefits are clear:
• more than 1,450 FSIs estimated to be prevented in the next 20 years;
• value of prevention of injuries (20 years): £550 million;
• economic cost (20 years) (including maintenance and operation): £125 million; and
• portfolio benefit:cost ratio (BCR): 4.4.
The measures that will be implemented as a result of this investment include:
• 135 new or improved pedestrian crossings;
• 10 miles of new or improved footpaths;
• 20 miles of new or improved cycle facilities;
• 225 improved junctions;
• 290 miles of improved shoulders;
• 90 miles of cleared or protected roadsides;
• 90 miles of improved visibility and signing;
• 300 improved bends;
• 150 miles of improved speed limits, enforcement and traffic calming;
• 80 miles of improved medians; and
• 70 miles of improved road surfaces.
ix Tackling High-Risk Regional Roads – Safer Roads Fund 2017/2018 xwww.racfoundation.org
Conclusions
The innovative Safer Roads Fund is an extremely positive first step. An estimated 1,450
families will be spared the sorrow of death or serious injury over the next twenty years from this
first portfolio of schemes. Both the societal impact and economic impact are clear; moreover,
the BCR of the portfolio investment would compete well with many transport schemes.
The proactive iRAP inspection approach has been well received, and it is clear that this
represents good practice, though there remains one clear barrier to widespread application of
such a proactive methodology, and that is identification of sustainable funding for road safety
interventions. Because of this, the dwindling local authority road safety budgets are likely to
continue to be spent on making very minor improvements at historical crash clusters.
Although a compelling case for road safety engineering treatments can be made, the impact
of these is often not felt at the local level. Moreover, there is little accountability for road-
related trauma at the local level. While it is inconceivable that a death occurring in social care
would not be discussed at the board level in local government, it is rare for road deaths to
feature. While other budgets are protected, local authority road safety capital investment
budgets have reduced significantly over time.
National and local accountability for road safety performance needs to be established, and
protected funds either at the national or local level should be put in place if international
commitments to halve the number of road deaths every decade is to be met.

1. Background, Approach and Process
This section provides an overview on the origin of the Safer Roads Fund and
the approach taken by Road Safety Foundation in working with local authorities
to develop proposals for submission.
Background
The Road Safety Foundation has produced risk maps of motorways, trunk
roads and local authority A-roads in Great Britain since 2002. In this work, the
Road Safety Foundation identifies the risk of being involved in a fatal or serious
crash per billion vehicle-kilometres travelled and presents this cartographically.
This annual programme has allowed the Road Safety Foundation to track
performance over time, identifying persistently high-risk roads, and those that
have improved.
1.1
1 Tackling High-Risk Regional Roads – Safer Roads Fund 2017/2018 2www.racfoundation.org
The Road Safety Foundation has also undertaken several International Road Assessment
Programme (iRAP) inspections in Great Britain. These provide Star Ratings showing the
intrinsic safety performance of the road infrastructure itself, as well as indicative Safer Roads
Investment Plans (SRIPs) that can be implemented to improve safety. The whole of the
Highways England Strategic Road Network has been inspected after it made a delivery plan
commitment for 90% of travel to be on three star or above roads by 2020.
In 2015, the Road Safety Foundation demonstrated the development of a SRIP on a
local authority A-road in West Sussex. The work was sponsored by Ageas and reported
in Engineering Safer Roads1. In 2016, the RAC Foundation supported a rapid pathfinder
project to inspect several high-risk local A-road sections. At a similar time, the Autumn
Statement provided funding to tackle the 50 ‘most dangerous’ local A-roads in England, and
the DfT Safer Roads Fund was launched. The DfT gave two deadlines for local authorities to
submit their proposals: one at the end of April 2017 and one at the end of September 2017.
The pathfinder project soon evolved to provide support for eight pathfinder authorities with
eleven road sections to submit proposals to the DfT, while a further grant from the DfT
facilitated inspection of the remaining top 50 sections.
The approach
The Safe System philosophy suggests that, in order to effectively tackle road infrastructure
safety, a proactive risk reduction approach needs to be adopted. The approach outlined
here, therefore, allows road authorities to adopt a ‘proactive’ risk assessment to identifying
potential treatments in order to reduce risk, in the same way as is applied in other industries
such as medicine, mining, aviation and, even, road worker safety. A proactive approach
can mean acting to remove risks before people are killed or hurt. Rather than focusing
on historical crash cluster sites alone, where chance can often be the main explanation
of clusters and ‘regression to the mean’ effects can flatter the effectiveness of action, a
proactive approach seeks to focus on known high risks.
For more information about the approach please refer to the report Tackling High-Risk
Regional Roads: Implementation Guidelines2.
The process
1.3.1 Identification of priority sections
The selection of road sections to be eligible for the Safer Roads Fund in England was done on
the basis of the risk of a fatal or serious crash per billion vehicle-kilometres driven, calculated
using STATS19 crash data and DfT traffic flow data. The roads eligible were the top 50 high-
risk local authority A-roads shown on the Safer Roads Fund map, on the next page.

The Foundation is indebted to the Department for Transport (DfT) for allowing use of data in creating the map. This work has been financially supported by Ageas. Crash information is for 2012-2014. Traffic data is the average for 2012-2014 weighted by section length with local corrections where appropriate. The roads shown are based on the 2013 network.

This map shows the 50 highest risk ‘A’ road sections in England, based onanalysis by the Road Safety Foundation of the British EuroRAP network.
The risk is calculated by comparing the frequency of road collisions resulting indeath and serious injury on every stretch of road (between 2012 - 2014) withhow much tra�c each road is carrying.

Local authorities were offered the assistance of the Road Safety Foundation, though they
were also free to adopt their own approach when estimating the potential benefits of their
proposed schemes. The approach taken by the Road Safety Foundation is detailed in the
sections that follow.
1.3.2 Survey and coding
The Road Safety Foundation team videoed the 50 road sections using Garmin VIRB X or
Ultra 30 action cameras mounted on the windscreen of an ordinary car. The camera system
collects high-definition wide-angled video footage suitable for coding attributes not only on
the roadway itself, but also on the roadsides. The videos were georeferenced using the built-
in Garmin GPS, which means that during coding it is possible to identify the location of road
attributes along the road.
The 50 road sections were surveyed either in December 2016 or spring 2017. Where practical,
the survey team met with local authorities as they travelled around the country in order to
brief them about the project. During the 1-2 hour briefing meeting, the team explained the risk
mapping results, described the Star Rating methodology and how these approaches could be
used together to develop cost-effective treatment programmes. The team also described
the supporting data that would be required to calibrate and localise the results.
In the coding process, 50 attributes that are relevant to road safety outcomes were coded
every 100m along the road section. The coding was undertaken by an experienced team
who reviewed the digital images and recorded road attributes in accordance with the
iRAP Star Ratings and Investment Plans: Coding Manual3 to create a data file/upload file
compatible for upload to the iRAP online software ViDA.
Quality assurance was completed in accordance with the iRAP Star Ratings and Investment
Plans: Quality Assurance Guide4 prior to processing.
Where necessary, local authorities provided more accurate traffic volumes, pedestrian and
cyclist flows, and operating speeds to be included in the data file.
1.3.3 Supporting data
At an overall project level, three sets of information are required: crash data, economic
parameters and countermeasure costs. The Road Safety Foundation team requested crash
data from the local authorities for the most recent 3–5 years. These were used to calibrate
the FSI estimation. Economic parameters were set by the DfT, and the iRAP system used
countermeasure costs adapted from other projects in the UK. Local authorities provided
accurate countermeasure costs in their applications to the Safer Roads Fund, rather than
using the generic estimated costs in the iRAP system.

1.3.4 Analysis and preliminary generation of a Safer Roads Investment Plan
Once the coding was complete and background data available, the initial Star Rating results
and SRIP were generated using the iRAP analysis tools.
Star Ratings are based on road attribute data (information about the geometry and layout
of the road such as lane width, junction type, presence and distance to roadside obstacles)
and provide a simple and objective measure of the level of safety built into the roads, for
each of four types of road user: vehicle occupants, motorcyclists, pedestrians and cyclists.
The Star Ratings reflect risk contributed by each of the road attributes, which are coded
– the higher the risk, the lower the rating. The risk is calculated on the basis of research
evidence on crash modification factors that describes relationships between road attributes
and crash risk. More about the model can be found on the iRAP website5. Star Rating
information can be viewed using charts, tables and maps.
SRIPs identify ways in which FSIs can be prevented in a cost-effective way. ViDA calculates
the casualty reduction expected from around 90 countermeasures (treatments designed to
improve safety such as crash barriers, central cross-hatching and shoulder rumble strips also
known as raised rib lines). It does this every 100m along an inspected road, comparing the
data against the cost of implementing the treatment, to produce an economic appraisal. The
output is an SRIP, which can be interrogated at the individual section, regional or national level
to assess the appropriateness and effectiveness of individual options for improvement. These
can be refined to allow economic appraisal of a locally acceptable treatment programme. The
appraisal period is normally twenty years, allowing the cost of implementing each measure
to be evaluated against the expected casualty savings over the same time period. ViDA
provides present values (PVs) and benefit:cost ratios (BCRs) for appraisal of each proposed
countermeasure. The information presented in ViDA is shown in Figure 1.1.

Clicking on one of the treatments in the SRIP in ViDA identifies the location where the treatment
is suggested (Figure 1.2) and provides the economic details of the treatment at each 100m
segment. This assists engineers in determining appropriate countermeasures along a route.

7 Tackling High-Risk Regional Roads – Safer Roads Fund 2017/2018 8www.racfoundation.org
The iRAP tools support users in understanding risk along a section as it highlights where
the risk of FSI is high. Each countermeasure proposed in the SRIP is supported by
strong evidence that, if implemented, it will prevent FSI in a cost-effective way, that is it is
anticipated that the treatments will provide more societal benefit than it costs to construct
and maintain the feature. Nevertheless, the SRIP should be regarded as a recommendation
for further investigation and must be subject to additional prioritisation, concept planning
and detailed design before implementation. All draft SRIPs were reviewed and sense
checked by the Road Safety Foundation team ahead of the training.
1.3.5 Capacity building
A key component of the Safer Roads Fund initiative was to build capacity and skills within
local authority teams to embed proactive approaches to road safety in practice. Five training
courses of one day each were held, to which 75 professionals attended. Training provided:
• an introduction to taking a proactive ‘risk management’ approach;
• an introduction to road inspections and coding;
• in-depth information on how to use ViDA;
• an overview of how to refine ViDA results for use in the DfT Safer Roads Fund
application form; and
• the opportunity to view and manipulate survey results for the first time.
Road Safety Foundation also provided ad hoc support to local authority teams, where
necessary, to support them in the development of proposals and in using the ViDA software.
It has also adopted a collaborative approach to skill development.
In addition, a briefing was held at the House of Lords on 2 March 2017 for senior authority
representatives from the pathfinder group, hosted by Lord Whitty (Road Safety Foundation
chairman). At this briefing, the Road Safety Foundation and the Parliamentary Under Secretary
for Transport gave a briefing about the DfT Safer Roads Fund and the pathfinder project.
1.3.6 Development of a User-Defined Investment Plan
The iRAP methodology was originally developed to enable network-wide assessments,
utilised by investors or national authorities, to assess levels of required investment for
large-scale national programmes. Although regional roads have been assessed many times
before, the pathfinder project and subsequent project to inspect the top 50 high-risk local
A-roads in England applied the iRAP methodology in a slightly new way. In it, road sections
were pre-selected based on their historical performance and then investigated in detail,
taking the initial SRIPs and refining these to be suitable for application to the DfT’s Safer
Roads Fund. In order to allow greater refinement, the Road Safety Foundation developed a
process to allow local authority engineers to model a User-Defined Investment Plan (UDIP).
When developing UDIPs, the local authorities were able to use the results from ViDA and the
SRIP as a guide to consider the risk profile along the road, and how risk might be reduced.
Not every measure from a SRIP was locally appropriate or indeed the most suitable
treatment; however, the measures within the plan indicated where there was significant risk
that could be addressed through implementation of a measure, and that the economic case
7 Tackling High-Risk Regional Roads – Safer Roads Fund 2017/2018 8www.racfoundation.org
could be made for this. Therefore, local authorities were able to select measures that were
aimed at reducing the same risk, and then model the impact of these measures.

2. Results
Proposals for 49 of the 50 eligible sections were submitted to the DfT;
Northamptonshire County Council did not submit a proposal as extensive
works had been completed on the road section identified prior to the
announcement of the Safer Roads Fund.
Information on each of the 49 proposals6 is presented in Tables 2.1 to 2.48, with
corresponding maps of the road sections. This information has been sourced from
the Ministerial written statement to Parliament Road safety: recent progress and
future work7, from individual local authorities and from the proposals submitted
to DfT available at the links provided in each table. Some of the information in
the proposals submitted to DfT by local authorities has been superseded by
discussions between DfT and the local authorities and in the Ministerial statement.
The Road Safety Foundation supported the submissions for 42 of the
proposals through training, collaborative working and assistance with modelling
the safety benefits.
Economic parameters were specified by the DfT.8 Overall, the schemes that
will be implemented between 2018 and 2021 have a combined capital cost of
nearly £100 million. Together, these schemes are estimated to prevent almost
1,450 FSIs over the next twenty years. The PV of the benefit of fatal, serious
and slight injuries across the schemes is estimated to be £550 million.9 The
6 Two proposals for adjacent sections of the A529 in Shropshire (Table 2.42) have now been combined into a single proposal.7 https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/road-safety-recent-progress-and-future-work8 The parameters used in the economic analyses varied for Round 1 proposals; for Round 2 proposals, a discount rate of 3.5% was used in conjunction with 2017 prices. Further information can be found by reviewing each proposal. 9 All proposals used the value of prevention of fatal and serious injuries as defined by DfT for 2016 or 2017 (for Rounds 1 and 2 proposals, respectively) to calculate the value of prevention of crashes.
9 Tackling High-Risk Regional Roads – Safer Roads Fund 2017/2018 10www.racfoundation.org
overall cost of capital works, operation and maintenance is estimated to be £125 million.10
The overall portfolio BCR is therefore 4.4. This means that, for every £1 spent, the value of
prevention is £4.40.
10 The economic cost included capital implementation, maintenance and those of operation profiled over a 20-year period.

3. Evaluation
The DfT commissioned an independent evaluation of the Safer Roads Fund,
which will use both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. Published
as Process Evaluation of the Safer Roads Fund Phase 1 Report12, it outlines
a qualitative evaluation completed soon after local authorities submitted
their proposals. The findings of the evaluation align well with the qualitative
evaluation undertaken by Road Safety Foundation. Some key findings of the
survey are outlined in the sections that follow.
Current approach – identification and treatment of priority sections
All local authorities that responded to the survey described a data-led
approach using routine or ad hoc analysis of STATS19 data supplemented
by other information sources. Reference was generally made to both site and
route analysis, with some pointers to area analysis. Local authorities have not
previously adopted a proactive risk assessment approach.
Proactive approaches are not commonly applied across local authority
roads, and there is an opportunity to address the way that crash risk
is treated.

Safer Roads Fund – selection of sections
The road sections were identified for the Safer Roads Fund on the basis of risk (crashes per billion
vehicle kilometres driven) rather than a more traditional metric of crash density (fatal or serious
crashes/km). This means that the roads were not always considered by the local authorities to be
high priority. Selecting purely on the basis of crash risk meant inclusion of some roads that were
very low flow, with crash numbers subject to random fluctuation. Moreover, because of the time
gap between the analysis period on which the selection was done and the start of the work, some
authorities had already made efforts to address safety concerns on their section.
Selection of further tranches should include safeguards such as a crash density
threshold, further analysis to ensure statistical robustness (e.g. the persistently
higher risk calculation that the Road Safety Foundation uses or Bayesian modelling)
and a check to ensure that eligible roads have not already been treated in the
inevitable time lag between analysis and selection.
iRAP software and outputs
Local authorities welcomed the iRAP results and SRIPs generally, though they recognised that
not all recommendations were practicable. They appreciated the opportunity to review the results
and generate their own plans. The new UDIP process was straightforward but required the Road
Safety Foundation team to receive information about the proposed remedial treatments and
model this ‘offline’, which created a time lag and a bit of a ‘black box’ experience.
The iRAP software could be enhanced to allow road safety engineers to interact
with the recommendations and amend the SRIP according to local information and
policies. Interacting with the results in this way would be a great benefit and would
allow the refinement of proposals.
Future use of proactive approaches
Local authorities were keen to continue to use the iRAP proactive inspection approach, but were
concerned that, if they did so, they would not be able to find the funds to address the issues
identified. Where there was reluctance to use the iRAP approach, it was largely because established
historical crash data analysis was considered to be more ‘politically acceptable’ or pragmatic.
Some practitioners remain unconvinced about the implementation of the Safe
System and proactive risk reduction on the road network. Local authorities are
facing huge challenges currently with reducing capacity, vastly reduced budgets for
road safety and a lack of accountability at the highest levels for road safety. There
is a wider issue to be addressed to ensure that road safety attracts the interest and
investment that it deserves.

4. Discussion
The first two Rounds of the Safer Roads Fund have provided staggeringly
positive results, with a portfolio investment that is set to prevent almost 1,450
fatalities and serious injuries over the next twenty years. The overall 20-year
benefit:cost ratio of the portfolio (4.4) would allow this work to compete with
major transport investment programmes.
The Road Safety Foundation report Cutting the Cost of Dangerous Roads:
British EuroRAP Results 201713 identifies a further 550 road sections with
unacceptable levels of risk, and so there is no shortage of further candidates
for investment.
As with all pioneering programmes, there are opportunities to further improve
and refine the process, and there is no doubt that the lessons learnt through this
project will allow even better road safety schemes to be developed in the future.
As the Road Safety Foundation has undertaken this work, it has become
increasingly clear that road safety engineers in local authorities are doing
their best, despite the reducing staff numbers focused on this topic as well
as the extremely limited funding available for investment. It is clear that the
highest level of local government does not give road safety the attention that it
deserves, and mechanisms to establish local accountability and funding need
to be determined as a matter of urgency.
