A new report has argued that the G7’s commitment to ‘Build Back a Better World’ should start with a pledge to build back safer to tackle deaths and serious injuries on Britain’s roads.
The Road Safety Foundation and Ageas Insurance say that the coronavirus pandemic has presented a unique chance to re-shape travel patterns and support healthier travel choices, which in turn will cut casualty numbers and help to achieve health, exercise, net-zero carbon and air quality goals.
The research indicates that a safer road network is fundamentally in line with the government’s stated objectives: investment in infrastructure, skills and innovation; and levelling up every part of Great Britain. The report highlights ten per cent of motorways and A roads that are clear priorities for investment.
Building Back Safer: Making roads fit for 2030 advocates for safer road infrastructure that includes facilities for active travel – schemes that deliver high rates of return and support casualty reduction and Great Britain’s global leadership in the field of road safety.
Lord Whitty, chair of the Road Safety Foundation, said: "Ahead of us is a unique opportunity to re-shape the way we move – to plan for healthier mobility – redefining our neighbourhoods to support safer active travel. Such changes may help us to deliver lower casualty numbers in the future while also helping to achieve health, exercise, net zero carbon and air quality goals."
"This report identifies a high-return investment package of £733 million for local ‘A’ roads in England, with similar portfolios available in Scotland, Wales and on the Strategic Road Network in England."
