The UK Government has announced a \u00a347.5 million investment on 27 roads to prevent deaths and serious injuries on England\u2019s local road network. This new investment, as part of the Department for Transport\u2019s Safer Roads Fund, will see life-saving road safety engineering measures introduced on local authority A roads. Following on from the success of previous phases of the Safer Roads Fund, this investment will secure safer roads for walking, cycling, riding and driving across England.<\/p>\n

Early estimates suggest that the \u00a347.5 million investment should prevent around 760 fatal and serious injuries over the next 20 years, with a benefit to society of \u00a3420 million. Once the whole life costs are factored in for the schemes, the overall Benefit Cost Ratio of the investment is estimated as 7.4, meaning for every \u00a31 invested the societal benefit would be \u00a37.40.<\/p>\n

The previous Safer Roads Fund investment in 2018 of \u00a3100m focused primarily on rural roads and won a prestigious Prince Michael International Road Safety Award<\/a> as an \u201coutstanding achievement\u201d and a \u201cfine example of collaboration\u201d.\u00a0 This new funding is split more evenly across rural and urban roads where funding can support greater levels of safer active travel.<\/p>\n

El Fundaci\u00f3n para la Seguridad Vial<\/a> (RSF) welcomed the news saying that it provides an opportunity to accelerate efforts to prevent death and serious injury on our roads.<\/p>\n

Dr Suzy Charman, Executive Director of RSF said: \u201cThe commitment and funding announced today is transformational for road safety teams in local authorities across the country.\u00a0 It will allow them to proactively reduce risk and make these 27 roads safer and more inviting for all road users.<\/p>\n

\u201cSystematic changes have already had a big impact on road death and serious injury, for example seatbelts and airbags protect lives when crashes happen.\u00a0 In the same way we can design roads so that when crashes happen people can walk away, by clearing or protecting roadsides, putting in cross hatching to add space between vehicles, providing safer junctions like roundabouts or adding signalisation and\/or turning pockets, and including facilities for walking and cycling.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr Suzy Charman added: \u201cWe congratulate the Secretary of State Mark Harper, the Roads Minister Richard Holden and the team at the Department for Transport for their commitment to bring life-saving measures to these roads.\u201d<\/p>\n

About Safer Roads Fund investment in 2018<\/strong>
El Fondo para Carreteras M\u00e1s Seguras, con 100 millones de libras esterlinas, se estableci\u00f3 tras un exitoso programa piloto ejecutado por la Road Safety Foundation y encargado y financiado por la RAC Foundation y el Departamento de Transporte. El programa del Fondo para Carreteras M\u00e1s Seguras se centr\u00f3 en tratar los 50 tramos de carreteras locales tipo \"A\" con mayor riesgo en Inglaterra mediante intervenciones de ingenier\u00eda de seguridad vial correctivas. En conjunto, los proyectos del Fondo para Carreteras M\u00e1s Seguras evitar\u00e1n alrededor de 1.450 lesiones mortales y graves en los pr\u00f3ximos 20 a\u00f1os. El valor de la prevenci\u00f3n para los proyectos es de 550 millones de libras esterlinas en comparaci\u00f3n con el coste de las intervenciones a lo largo de su vida \u00fatil de 125 millones de libras esterlinas. La relaci\u00f3n beneficio-coste para esta cartera de carreteras se estima en 4,4, lo que significa que por cada libra esterlina invertida, se recuperan 4,40 libras esterlinas en beneficios sociales. Esto demuestra c\u00f3mo las intervenciones de seguridad vial pueden competir favorablemente con otros grandes proyectos de transporte.<\/p>\n
