Road Safety - By Accident or Design? GUIDELINES FOR IMPROVING ROAD SAFETY IN REGENERATION AREAS
2. Objectives of the guidelines
The guidelines have been developed to provide guidance on an inter-agency approach to road safety in regeneration areas. More specifically they provide guidance on:
- Identifying the appropriate stakeholders that should work together to improve community safety;
- Identifying stakeholder roles;
- An indicative framework for inter-agency working;
- Ensuring that community safety issues are identified and addressed;
- Identifying sustainable solutions to road safety problems;
- Monitoring project outcomes.
The guidelines should be used as a tool to achieving the following objectives:
- To minimise the risk of road accidents;
- To improve accessibility and remove perceived barriers;
- To recognise the role that improved road safety plays in social inclusion;
- To ensure that road safety is factored into regeneration planning at an early stage;
- To ensure community safety audits and community consultation are carried out at appropriate times;
- To ensure that road safety projects are managed with best value in mind;
- To ensure that all stakeholders are aware of the opportunities that exist to promote road safety in regeneration areas;
- To take every opportunity, both infrastructural and socially, to promote road safety.
