We welcome the vision set out in the National Transport Strategy. We welcome the inclusion of the Sustainable Transport Hierarchy and the focus to embed this in decision-making within the Strategy. It is important that the transport system meets the needs of everyone who needs to use it, while at the same time addressing some of the major challenges facing society, such as climate change, poor(er) health and wellbeing outcomes, and issues of equality.

Consultation response - Autonomous vehicles

1 February 2019

The objectives in the consultation conflict with each other. We welcome that the key objective is safety and a focus on criminal and legal clarity. However, to “wish to remove any unnecessary blocks which might delay the benefits of driving automation to mobility and productivity” assumes that there are only benefits to automated vehicles when the potential downsides, such as inefficient use of road space from more vehicles, compared to public transport, should also be taken into account.

Download

24 January 2019

Traffic speed and concerns over safety are two of the main barriers to people cycling. 20 mph can help to improve safety for people cycling and all road users. The Bill must be supported by effective enforcement and driver education and awareness raising, as well as speed reduction, to achieve the required level of culture and behaviour change whereby 20 mph becomes the norm in built-up areas.

We welcome the prohibition of parking on pavements and double parking, and, through associated secondary legislation, of dropped kerb parking, recognising the important contribution this will have on improving the safety of vulnerable road users, particularly people cycling and walking. Enforcement of parking restrictions must be thorough across the country.
