The national road safety strategy aims to reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured (KSI) on roads in Great Britain (GB). With an average of 4 lives lost daily in 2024, this strategy sets GB-wide targets to cut KSIs by 2035.

It commits to reviewing policy areas such as the safety of young and novice drivers, older drivers and motorcyclists, to shape smarter, evidence-led interventions.

The strategy outlines a range of policies to support this aim and enhance overall road safety. It focuses on 4 themes:

• • Supporting road users 

  • Taking advantage of technology, innovation and data for safer vehicles and post-collision care

  • Ensuring infrastructure is safe 

  • Robust enforcement to protect all road users

For each of these themes, policy areas, interventions and commitments are identified.

The strategy also summarises the case for change, identifies road safety targets and outlines an approach to monitoring the progress made in meeting objectives.
