The rural road safety demonstration project showcases work done by four county councils in response to an invitation to apply for specific funding support from the DfT.


The four county councils – Devon, Lincolnshire, Norfolk and Northamptonshire – were identified as beacon councils for road safety in 2006 and these projects were implemented between 2008 and early 2010.
This reports aims to present the overall findings and specific information relating to interventions delivered by the four local authorities in an accessible format.
The value of the project is partly in what the measures implemented achieved, but is also in the way the local authorities, their partners and communities decided what to do.
