National Signposts 2013

A year on from its initial review of road safety performance and progress around the UK, Road Safety Analysis published National Signposts 2013, the latest report in its Signpost Series which analyses national and local road safety over the last six years.

National Signposts 2013 provides an in-depth look at the issue of road risk in terms of crashes on local roads and shows where improvements have been made and where risk is highest.

The report suggests that overall London and the South East exhibit higher risk and are generally making slower progress. Scotland experiences lower levels of risk than elsewhere in Britain and is generally making more progress.

Significant progress has been made in North West England and some urban areas outside London, in particular the Midlands and parts of Wales, over the last three years.
