Twelve Strategic Actions

We will deliver a range of speed management initiatives to support the Safe System.

We will deliver road safety initiatives that positively impact the climate emergency and we will mitigate the negative impacts climate change may have on road safety.

We will improve funding streams for national and local road safety delivery.

We will engage in partnership working to enable all road users to understand their road safety responsibilities, allowing them to improve their attitudes and behaviours for the safety of themselves and others.

We will research, implement and evaluate technologies for use within the Safe System and promote them as appropriate.

We will ensure road safety remains a key focus of active and sustainable travel in Scotland.

We will ensure our actions are evidence-led to support the delivery of the Safe System.

We will optimise enforcement to encourage good road user behaviour to support the Safe System.

We will strengthen the relationship between health and road safety, reduce the likelihood, number and severity of collisions and improve the post-crash response.

We will provide opportunities for all road users to gain the knowledge, skills and experience required to become safe and responsible users.

We will improve road infrastructure and maintenance.

We will reduce road safety inequality due to socio-economic disadvantage of people living in areas of deprivation.
