Road Safety in Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray
Each Council has previously produced separate Road Safety Plans for their area.
The Councils periodically review road safety in their areas. The previous Aberdeenshire Road Safety Plan (2005-2010) and Moray Road Safety Plan (2008-2010) outlined strategies to improve road safety with regard to vulnerable road user groups.
Using the lessons learned from the previous Road Safety Plans and drawing upon recent initiatives progressed in a partnership approach, we are planning to develop new strategies for the most vulnerable road users in Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray for the period to 2015.
A key factor behind this plan is the partnership approach to activity and the Councils will continue to work with a range of agencies across North East Scotland to deliver the objectives of this plan.
Among others, partners include: Road Safety Grampian, Grampian Fire and Rescue Service, Grampian Police, the North East Safety Camera Partnership (NESCAMP), Transport Scotland, Road Safety Scotland, BEAR Scotland, Regional Transport Partnerships (Nestrans and Hitrans), Cycling Scotland, NHS Grampian and the Scottish Ambulance Service.
We hope to continue to develop internal relationships, seeking to raise the road safety agenda within the work of colleagues and departments across the Councils. The progress made on the implementation of School Travel Plans and Safer Routes to Schools in recent years is a good example of this and one that should be built on in the future.
