Roads: Safety
(asked on 8th October 2018) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the criteria are for allocating funds under the Safer Roads Fund.
This question was answered on 16th October 2018
As highlighted in my June Written Ministerial Statement, the Department has invested £100 million to improve the 50 most dangerous stretches of ‘A’ roads in England.
The roads chosen for funding were based on Road Safety Foundation analysis, the key components of which were the number of people killed or seriously injured, the traffic flow of the road and the likelihood of future collisions based on the characteristics of the road.
