Transport Committee: Road Safety Strategy

Committee hears from witnesses

The Transport Committee will take oral evidence on the government's Road Safety Strategy. This session will examine current plans to reduce road deaths and serious injuries, exploring how the strategy addresses collision prevention, enforcement, vehicle safety standards, and vulnerable road users. The inquiry will scrutinize the coherence and ambition of the government's approach to a persistent public health problem.

Road traffic collisions kill around 1,500 people annually in the UK and seriously injure thousands more. The strategy's effectiveness directly shapes whether collision rates fall or stagnate, affecting families, emergency services, and the broader health system. This evidence session allows MPs to test whether the government's plans match the scale of the problem.
