Road Safety
Improving Road Safety for the City.
Our aim is to make the City's roads a safer place in which to walk, ride and drive. By reducing the number of people killed or seriously injured in road traffic collisions.
This section of our web site will help you find out what is going on across the City to help achieve this.
The number of people killed or seriously injured on the City's roads is reducing year on year. Liverpool City Council has made good progress towards meeting Government Set Casualty Reduction Targets![(MS Word [24Kb] opens in new window)](/images/Word.gif)

To improve road safety we use:
-
Education/training/publicity. Working in the community to raise road safety awareness.
-
Engineering. Making the roads safer by installing traffic calming and anti-skid road surfaces and making improvements to junctions.
-
Enforcement. This undertaken by our partners Merseyside Police. Their Roads Policing Unit are a team of dedicated and experienced officers who actively target anyone using the City's roads for the purposes of crime or who are committing offences in contravention of the Road Traffic Act. Fixed and Mobile Camera sites also operate across the City.
