Labour has come under scrutiny for its ambitious Road Safety Strategy, which aims to reduce the number of people killed and seriously injured on UK roads. MPs will also consider evidence on wider issues raised by the road strategy, including speed limit changes, road design, safety on rural roads, as well as lessons from international and UK practice. The inquiry will specifically examine whether the Government has the right level of ambition and the right arrangements in place to meet the road targets. The Transport Committee has begun inquiring into the strategy targets |The Road Safety Strategy was unveiled earlier this month, with several driving topics now being consulted by the Government. Commenting on the strategy, Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander detailed how, while the UK has historically been a global leader in road safety, European countries have made more progress in reducing road fatalities.
