Road to Zero Harm: from ambition to coordinated action
National Highways’ Road to Zero Harm roadmap outlines our evidence-led approach to reducing deaths and serious injuries on the Strategic Road Network. The presentation will explore how National Highways and its partners are bringing together their different roles and levers across the Safe System to target known risks and deliver effective interventions, while also asking a harder question: how far will those measures take us towards zero harm, and what more might be needed?
It will consider how evaluation, research and innovation can help us understand what is working, identify where further action is needed and adapt our approach over time.
