On road safety, we want to deliver safer roads, healthier streets; lowering speed limits where people live and building more crossing points to achieve the Vision Zero road safety ambition by 2050. Status and scope The Road Safety Policy(External link) document complements and updates the Local Transport Plan for Gloucestershire 2021-2040 in respect of Road Safety. The policy covers the actions of the County Council as Highway Authority and as the Fire and Rescue Service Authority. Background: Our current policy, a statement in the Local Transport Plan, has targets attached to it which have now expired yet we know how important road safety measures are for our communities. This includes requests for reduced speed limits, particularly 20mph, and for local communities to use cameras to help enforce speed limits.
