Roads policing review: future methods to improve safety and reduce casualties
Detail of outcome
The government is analysing the feedback for this consultation, some of which is very detailed. We will publish a response in due course.
Original call for evidence
Call for evidence description
We are reviewing existing roads policing to:
- identify which current methods are most effective
- understand how the capability and capacity of enforcement services can be enhanced to improve safety and reduce future casualties on roads
As part of the review we are exploring how:
- we can better use intelligence to target dangerous behaviours
- technology can assist in enforcing road traffic law now and in the future
- to better understand the value of enforcement in influencing road user behaviour
Since 2010, we have seen a plateauing in the number of people killed and seriously injured on our roads after years of steadily declining numbers and have instituted this review to combat that situation.
