This report looks into the process of setting a road safety vision for Northern Ireland.

Much of the material in this report is taken directly from previous TRL work that has contributed to the development of Great Britain’s road safety vision and strategy, though it has been supplemented following the GB work and also similar developments specifically in Scotland. It examines the motivation for, and the nature of, visions from various countries and reviews and considers their implications for road safety practice, policy and strategy.
Going forward there is a need to recognise the importance of integrating any road safety strategy and vision with other policy areas, and to further recognise the challenges described by the Eddington and Stern reports, as discussed by the Northern Ireland Assembly’s Committee for Regional Development (2007). Any road safety strategy, whether or not in pursuit of a vision for road safety, should reflect the need to understand and improve road safety in the context of the full end-to-end journeys of people and movements of goods, and to do so in ways that are consistent with an overall reduction in emissions and support for economic growth.
