Although road safety is an important and pertinent topic at all times, changes to the Highway Code in January 2021 increased the priority of non-motorised users in our streets. This event looked at the impacts of those changes from a range of angles around road safety, including an overview of road safety in the UK (David Davies – PACTS) and some recent research into attitudes surrounding the design of side road junctions (Jonathan Flower – UWE).

As well as understanding the processes that contribute to road danger and dangerous driving, approaches are also constantly being developed to tackle it. Both local authorities and national bodies are taking harsher measures against dangerous driving, as demonstrated by the Welsh Operation Snap (Teresa Ciano - GanBwyll – GoSafe Wales) which enables members of the public to submit video evidence for the prosecution of dangerous drivers, and a London borough which has been prosecuting drivers specifically on speeding offenses (Nick O’Donnell – Wandsworth Borough Council).
