The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to integrate (a) modern road safety technology, (b) smart signage and (c) AI-based monitoring systems into transport planning for new housing developments in Essex.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

The Road Safety Strategy is under development and will include a broad range of policies. More details will be set out in due course.

More broadly, we are working closely with the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government to continue to actively explore innovations in the housing and planning sector, such as the recent PropTech Innovation Challenge that is funding innovative and scalable PropTech solutions to help deliver homes.
