Roads: Safety

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether she plans to legislate on the proposals in the Road Safety Strategy.

Answered by Lilian Greenwood

On 7 January 2026 we published our new Road Safety Strategy, setting out our vision for a safer future on our roads for all.

We will take a phased approach to deliver the commitments in the Road Safety Strategy. Some commitments, such as consultations on key reforms, are already underway and will inform legislative and regulatory changes in the near term.

We will fully consider the consultation responses before bringing forward any legislation to make sure any measures we introduce are proportionate and will improve safety.
