We have a duty to promote road safety and prevent accidents in the borough. While our new engineering schemes (such as traffic calming measures) aim to make the roads safer, our education, publicity and training campaigns aim to influence the behaviour of road users.
For more information on how we promote road safety in the borough, please click on a link on the menu on the left.
We are currently working towards the road safety targets adopted in London by the Mayor in 2006, to be achieved by 2010:
- 50% reduction in people killed or seriously injured (applies to all road users)
- 40% reduction in motorcyclists killed and seriously injured
- 60% reduction in children (under 16 years) killed and seriously injured
- 25% reduction in slight injuries
We are making progress on these targets, for example, compared with the average number of accidents for the period 1994-1998 there has been a 72% reduction in the number of children killed or seriously injured and a 14% reduction in slight injuries.
