Highways England – Systems Approach to Road Safety Richard Leonard Road Safety Behaviour Symposium

Strategic Direction for Road User Safety 2

The Challenge

4 Road Safety – Key Performance Indicator

Top 10 KSI Collision Contributory Factors 2015 (Stats 19) 80.9% of KSI casualties due to human factors 5 NRUSS - Over 90% of road users felt safe on their journey on the SRN

Command and Control Incident Data - 2015 27,644 non injury collisions 762 spillages 939 suicide/attempt suicides 82 thrown objects 3,246 animals on network 2,260 fires 7,841 illegal use of hard shoulder/ERA 478,643 logged incidents 205,567 attended incidents Current and Future Non Injury Collision Data Sources Command and control data only recorded incidents that Highways England Traffic Officers had an awareness of or involvement in. Influenced by current patrol strategies that are predominantly motorway only . 6

Safe Systems Approach

10 National Incident Casualty Reduction Plan

Safer Roads

12 Acting before crashes and casualties occur Recognising that the road is a complex multi-dimensional system Requires systematic treatment of entire routes and networks Reducing/controlling energy exchanged in crashes Creating self-explaining and forgiving networks Acknowledging that road users make mistakes Safer Roads

Smart Motorway All Purpose Trunk Road Motorway Expressway (visualisation) 13 Network Products – Continuous Improvement & Development

“Our busiest A-Roads will become Expressways, providing improved standards of performance. Improved design standards will give greater consideration to the needs of walkers, cyclists and local communities along with the aesthetic appearance of the network.” DfT Road Investment Strategy Source: Highways England Strategic Business Plan 2015-2020 14

Safer Vehicles

Nothing new? “Highways will be made safe — by electricity! No traffic jams, … no collisions … no driver fatigue.” (1957 advertisement) 17

A Multi-Organisational Approach 23

Summary

Summary Strategic Direction & Plan set – principles agreed, continue to develop and deliver commitments. Take forward package of measures outlined under the Roads, Vehicles and People Pillars (Delivery Plan). Develop a forgiving network - need to consider interim measures in advance of major capital investment. Work collaboratively to support vehicle industry safety developments and improve road worthiness. Engineering Measures alone will not deliver KSI reduction targets - non-engineering interventions need to play a more central role. Develop Capability – Enforcement & Compliance, Communication Strategy, Understanding our Customers (People) & Improve Data Intelligence. 25
