Cheshire Safer Roads Partnership (CSRP) represents seven local agencies who work together to save lives on the roads of Cheshire, Halton and Warrington. Collectively we feel that even one road death is one too many, especially as the majority of road crashes are actually preventable. We are doing all we can to educate, engineer and enforce road safety, but are you playing your part?
We all know the safety rules - wear your seatbelt, don't speed, don't drive whilst using your mobile phone and so on, but do we abide by them because the law tells us to? Do we do it because we see value in doing so? Or do we tend not to because we think we are immortal or that the law doesn't apply to us?
Whoever you are, whatever you do, remember one thing: a fatal road crash doesn't just affect its victim. more...
Speed and red light cameras are just one tool in the toolbox of road safety. Logic tells us that a reduction in general speeds will result in fewer collisions where people are injured, and where a collision can not be prevented, a slower speed will result in less severe injuries.
This is proven in national safety camera research. An independent study analysing 4000 camera sites concluded a 42% reduction in the number of people killed or seriously injured, which is equivalent to approx. 1,745 fewer people injured (including over a 100 fewer road deaths). more...
