AVZ on new Road Safety Strategy:
1. Ambitious targets BUT long-term Vision Zero needed
2. Themes based on Safe System
3. Focus needed on a)harm motor vehicles pose to people walking and cycling (a third of KSIs), b) reducing vehicle speeds + c) traffic volumes.

The Road Safety Strategy is an opportunity to address the dangers pedestrians face every day, but the vision should be for zero people to lose their lives. We should not accept that a certain number of people will die on our roads.

Vision Zero plans need to include measures to reduce car use. Delivering the Safe System on its own is not enough; cities also need to reduce driving. The latest AVZ briefing highlights recent research showing that when car use falls casualties fall too.

London needs speeding enforcement to focus more on 20 and 30mph roads. 92% of London's KSIs occur on 20 and 30mph roads but only 58% of its speed enforcement does. If it was proportionate, there would be another 280,000 speeding offences detected on these roads.

If disqualified and dangerous drivers are to be spared prison (as new Independent Sentencing Review proposes), punishment should include longer bans, vehicles confiscated and electronic tags (to ensure they are not driving whilst disqualified).
