ROAD SAFETY IN SOUTH YORKSHIRE
Frances Adams, SY Local Transport Plan Director Ken Wheat, SY Safer Roads Partnership Manager
The South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership Approach
South Yorkshire & the Region
In Terms of Casualty Reduction
• Relatively poor performance compared to others in UK in early 2000s led to visit by DfT and SY Road Safety Improvement Plan;
• In UK duty to investigate road traffic collisions and take action rests with the local highway authorities but little evidence of sub-regional partnership working;
• Countywide approach and liaison with others with a role to play needed to be improved;
• SY Casualty Reduction Partnership began in 2006.
Casualty Reduction Partnership Refresh
• South Yorkshire Police as Chair in 2006
• Partnership approach in place but how effective and evidence led?
• Structure, Meetings, Ownership, Roles – unclear
• ETP activity by different Partners uncoordinated
• Casualty reduction targets on track to meet LTP2 targets but not National Targets based on 1994/1998 average
• How do we improve to maintain progress?
• Safer Roads Partnership Process
• Reinforced – Partnership approach, visibility and commitment
• Restructured – Strategic; Operational; Tactical Levels
• Gold = SRP – aligned SRP to Crime and Disorder Structures
• Silver = Tactical Group – aligned to Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership
• Bronze = Delivery of Tactic – Safety Camera Partnership
