In November 2019, the Office of Rail and Road (ORR<\/a>) awarded the Fondation pour la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 routi\u00e8re<\/a> (RSF) a contract to review how investments are prioritised to improve safety outcomes by Highways England (HE).<\/a><\/p>\n

The Foundation looked at how HE ranks the location and type of scheme to deliver; how these decisions are influenced by HE\u2019s key performance indicators; and how the company takes account of the safety star rating of the network when making investment decisions.<\/p>\n

It also examined how HE considers safety outcomes in its economic appraisal of future schemes; evaluates the success of safety schemes, and how this subsequently informs future investment priorities; and look at how cycling, safety and integration ring-fenced fund and safety improvements are delivered as part of major schemes.<\/p>\n

Crucially, the project will also assess how safety investment on smart motorways is appraised, prioritised and evaluated.<\/p>\n

In March 2020, RSF completed the review and the results will be published by the Office of Rail and Road in July 2020.<\/p>\n
