The charity believes an awareness campaign is crucial to the government’s own ‘safe systems approach’ to road safety, which Ministers have committed to as part of the new Road Safety Strategy published earlier this month. – the government body responsible for promoting road safety, has been cut by two-thirds since 2019, at a time when road danger remains a real concern. With concern mounting as to whether updates are fully understood, just last month the government’s Road Safety Strategy highlighted the importance of a ‘lifelong learning approach’ suggesting the need for a major road safety awareness campaign. What we need is a balanced approach to improving road safety that combines education, prevention and enforcement of the rules. That’s the missing piece of the road safety puzzle.”To support Cycling UK’s call for a national Highway Code awareness campaign, visit www.cyclinguk.org/missing- piece to contact your MP.
