This report calls on the Department for Transport to revolutionise Britain’s roads – banning pavement parking nationwide, putting cycle training on the national curriculum, setting a 20mph default speed limit in urban areas and retraining the police and driving instructors.
The report finds:
- Less than two thirds of adults are able to correctly answer a Highway Code question on pedestrian priority
- Vulnerable road users face disproportionate dangers on Britain’s roads, with women at higher risk
- There is a national mandate to reduce motor traffic around schools
The report concludes that a growing disconnect between the updated Highway Code and all road users is endangering the safety of the most vulnerable people on Britain’s roads.
