M5: Accidents
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department conducts regular strategic reviews of collision hotspots and fatal incidents on the M5.
Answered by Lilian Greenwood
Road safety is a matter the Government takes very seriously and National Highways is committed to reducing the number of people killed or seriously injured on England’s motorways and major A-roads. National Highways works closely with the Police and other partners to ensure it has an evidence based understanding of fatal collisions and collision hotspots on its network, in addition to regional reviews and monitoring. This analysis supports National Highways in making targeted interventions on its network to reduce collision numbers and severity. More broadly, National Highways seeks to improve safety through its partnership working, such as with the Police and businesses to support safe driving behaviours.
