Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to support the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety.
The Department’s “British Road Safety Statement” published in December 2015 sets out the Government’s commitment to actions that do support the UN Decade for Road Safety. This includes measures to improve safety and reduce deaths for vulnerable road users such as cyclists, pedestrians and motorcyclists. It also includes enhancing road infrastructure and encouraging improved learning and road behaviour. There are also actions on tackling mobile phone use whilst driving.
