About this Consultation

Consultation is an essential part of the policy making process. It gives us the opportunity to seek your opinions. This consultation details our proposed approach on the Road Safety Framework over the next decade and asks you questions about what we are proposing.

Responses to this consultation are analysed and, along with a range of other available information and evidence, will help to inform the development of road safety policy and delivery in Scotland.
