Framework at a glance

Our Vision
For Scotland to have the best road safety performance in the world

Our Outcomes

A chart showing the five ways in which Scotland aims to have the best road safety performance in the world. There five pillars are: Safe Road Use, Safe Vehicles, Safe Speeds, Post-Crash Response, Safe Roads and Roadsides.

Our Targets

Interim Targets to 2030
50% reduction in people killed
50% reduction in people seriously injured
60% reduction in children (aged <16) killed
60% reduction in children (aged <16) seriously injured

Intermediate Outcome Targets

  • 40% reduction in pedestrians killed or seriously injured
  • 20% reduction in cyclists killed or seriously injured
  • 30% reduction in motorcyclists killed or seriously injured
  • 20% reduction in road users aged 70 and over killed or seriously injured
  • 70% reduction in road users aged between 17 to 25 killed or seriously injured
  • Percentage of motorists driving/riding within the posted speed limit
  • The casualty rate for the most deprived 10% SIMD areas is reduced to equal to the least deprived 10% SIMD areas.

Intermediate Measures

  • Casualty rate per 100 million vehicle kilometers for cyclists killed and seriously injured
  • Casualty rate per thousand population for pedestrians killed and seriously injured
  • Number of people killed and seriously injured in collisions where at least one driver/rider was driving for work, not commuting

Key Performance Indicators

The Key Performance Indicators for the framework are currently being developed to enable the monitoring of road safety behaviours, vehicle safety and road infrastructure. We are continuing to work with stakeholders on the number of KPI’s and their associated performance level that are required to be monitored as part of our intermediate outcome targets. A rationale, definition and methodology, will be developed for each KPI alongside the organisation responsible for collection of the appropriate data.

The publication of our Key Performance Indicators will be contained in the first Road Safety Framework Annual delivery plan. All targets, intermediate outcome targets and measures as well our KPI’s will be monitored in the Road Safety Framework Annual Report. There will also be a number of other indicators that will be monitored at Operational Partnership Group level. The performance management framework will be a live document with KPI’s that are added, modified or removed as appropriate through the lifetime of the framework

A pictoral matrix showing twelve current and emerging challenges that apply to each of the twelve strategic actions of the road safety framework 2030. The current and emerging challenges are Climate Emergency; Active and Sustainable Travel; Health; Safe System: Speed Management; Road Safety Delivery; Driving/Riding for Work and Workplace Culture; Emerging Technologies; Enforcement/Deterrence; Road Infrastructure and Maintenance; Post-Crash Response; Road Users.
