Roads: Safety
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to increase road safety.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
The Government treats road safety seriously and is committed to reducing the numbers of those killed and injured on our roads.
On 7 January 2026 we published our new Road Safety Strategy, setting out our vision for a safer future on our roads for all.
Road safety is a shared responsibility, and this strategy reflects that. It considers action needed by government, local authorities, industry, emergency services and communities to tackle the causes of collisions and save lives. By investing in infrastructure, education, and enforcement, we are taking decisive steps to make our roads safer for everyone.
