Fantastic report - well worth a read. The ROI should be compelling enough, but it shouldn’t just be about money. VRUs choosing active travel modes have a right to use the road without FEELING in danger. Making roads safer will help achieve #NetZero goals.

Brilliant to see this gathering so much interest in national newspapers and broadcast media. Thanks to @SafeRoadDesign @RoadSafetyTruUK for their support as well.
Fantastic to see @TheAA_UK Charitable Trust take a proactive approach to keeping us safe with their latest study into safety on Britain’s rural roadways.
There's also plenty of outside interest in this campaign, with 27 broadcast interviews lined up for @AAPresident this week!
