Consultation materials
Consultation materials
Consultation materials were produced to help respondents understand the proposal and submit informed feedback. The materials were promoted through various communication channels to raise awareness and encourage participation.
Consultation webpage
The consultation webpage was hosted on the Transport Scotland website within the consultation section, National Speed Management Review Consultation at https://www.transport.gov.scot/consultation/national-speed-management-review-consultation/ (overview shown in Appendix A.1).
The consultation webpage was used as a single repository for all information on the consultation, this included:
- dates of consultation
- background information on the research, review and proposal
- a link to the online questionnaire and information on how to respond by emailing and through the post
- frequently asked questions
- contact details
- details of the consultation events.
Virtual exhibition room
A virtual exhibition room provided ongoing access to the materials presented at the in-person events. It offered those who could not attend the events a chance to view the materials in their own time, remotely. The room was linked from the main webpage and included a video presentation, banners, a link to the full report of the review and a link to the online questionnaire. A screenshot of the virtual exhibition room is shown in Figure 2.
The virtual exhibition room had a total of 506 visitors.
Information banners
To clearly and effectively communicate the proposed changes, eight banners were produced to display information at the in-person consultation events. These banners showcased Scotland’s Road Safety Framework 2030, reasoning behind the proposal, and details of the NSMR (see Appendix A.2). The banners were also made available in the virtual exhibition room to allow those who could not attend the in-person engagement events to view the materials.
Video presentation
A pre-recorded video presentation was created and shared via the virtual exhibition room to allow those who could not attend the in-person engagement events to get an overview of the proposal from the team behind the review.
This presentation was also used for the online engagement events to provide attendees with a clear and concise overview of the NSMR.
