This Road Safety Plan presents the joint proposals of the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Road Safety Partnership, to meet the Partnership’s agreed aim:-

“To provide a safer environment on the roads of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland using education, enforcement and engineering to enable all road users to travel in confidence, free from fear of death or injury.”

This Road Safety Plan takes into account new and emerging national policies and strategies, including casualty reduction targets for 2010, and, through a series of Action Plans, takes forward and develops the work of the Road Safety Plan for Leicestershire (1991).

The Plan is in two parts: -
Part 1 - Policies, Objectives and Strategy, sets out the overall framework and defines the Key Objectives. The Road Safety problems are identified and a strategy for dealing with these is set out. It is intended that this part of the Plan should be reviewed every five years or when there is any substantial change to National Policies.

Part 2 - Action Plans and Performance Monitoring, each member of the partnership will produce individual Part 2 plans within their respective authorities. The plans will be produced annually and will set out the proposed actions to be put forward as a means of achieving the objectives of the Road Safety Plan for the forthcoming year. To evaluate the degree to which these objectives are being met, Part 2 of the plan will also report back on progress and performance monitoring for the previous years Action Plans and Targets, including detailed casualty analysis. Feedback from this part of the Plan will help to guide the development of ongoing Action Plans for succeeding years.
