The West Yorkshire Vision Zero Strategy, a plan to eradicate all road deaths and serious injuries across West Yorkshire by 2040, is described as ‘an innovative development in how road safety will be improved and lives saved’.
The strategy focuses on the safe system approach – safe roads, behaviours, speeds, vehicles and an effective post collision response.
Under each of these themes sit objectives for the short and longer term, but at the strategy’s heart is the message that ‘everyone has a responsibility to keep people safe on our roads, and we must all work together to create the lasting change needed’.
Emergency services, local authorities, National Highways, victim support services and road safety campaigners are all backing the strategy, which was launched at a road safety event at Lister Park in Bradford, along with a Vision Zero Pledge, whereby members of the public, and organisations, can sign and make a commitment to keep everyone safe on the roads.
