Changing priorities – transport, freedom and the value of life

Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety, Conference,
London, 13th March 2008
A league table to be bottom of
In 2001 The United Kingdom was third from the top of the WHO league table of countries with the lowest crude mortality rate by road traffic accident. Sadly this may be as much a result of our fears as of our achievements
Introduction
Now is the time to consider what further work we need to do beyond 2010 and what policy approaches we need to adopt as we near the end of the current round of casualty reduction. We also must place road casualty reduction and policy priorities in a wider context of changes in society.

Britain is a country polarising by wealth and poverty – by health – and much in between. The polarisation is more evident and most clearly continuing to rise when geographical areas are compared. Cars are essential to this.

Summary of argument
• We appear to want to travel more – despite needing less to travel to work.
• When we travel by car we are at our most dangerous. Other dangers, especially to children (such as infectious disease) have receded far faster than road safety has improved.
• The car is crucial to social segregation and fear of cars means the affluent especially “cotton-ball” their children, segregating them further.
• As with much else in Britain, this may take a change in our collective psyche to solve.
Key Trends: wealth in the London conurbation, 1980 to 2000.

A local picture of RTA• Normal maps hide poverty and traffic
accidents, there are alternatives.
• Here follow a few images, first of poverty rates in Sheffield.
• These are followed by numbers of road traffic accidents, mainly minor, occurring to children.
• Inequality rates rise from four fold to ten fold as you zoom in.

A national picture of RTA deaths
• First consider just Yorkshire, deaths over a 24 year period.
• Within Sheffield pedestrian RTA death rates by large areas (tracts) vary 5 fold.
• Across Yorkshire they vary 10 fold.• The national picture is of an urban rural
and north south divide.• There are enough pedestrian RTA deaths
in Britain to define its social geography.

When it comes to car dependencyThe UK is the LA of the EU
• The car dominates commuting everywhere but in the Capital.
• It is becoming normal for children to grow up in families with 2, 3, 4 or more cars.
• There are even areas in Britain where most men aged 60-74 live in such households (despite most living alone or in a couple without children!).
• Tellingly women are less car preoccupied.

• The majority of road safety professionals … admired the aspirational nature of the Swedish Vision Zero and the commitment of the Swedish Government to achieving it.
