The local authority promoters of the remaining 16 are working up their cases to seek conditional funding approval. The applications for the 45 Safer Roads Fund schemes will be sent to local authorities shortly for return in the new year. The projects are then expected to begin by the end of the financial year.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Katherine Fletcher question first answered 26/10/2022 09:03:51 answering member 4834 label Biography information for Katherine Fletcher

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2022 answer text <p>The Department’s roadside trials of noise camera technology commenced on 18 October. Over 70 applications for the trial were received, but due to the project being in the research stage and the prototype nature of the technology, only 4 sites could be selected. Shortlisted sites were chosen based on a number of factors to achieve a sufficiently wide range of road types to test the noise camera technology.</p><p>Unfortunately, we are unable to consider any further applications for trial locations, but if the trials prove to be successful, noise cameras may be considered for wider rollout.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Katherine Fletcher question first answered 25/10/2022 09:42:38 answering member 4834 label Biography information for Katherine Fletcher

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/10/2022 answer text <p>There are currently no mandatory requirements for speed guidance systems fitted to cars in Great Britain. Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) is such a system and was mandated for new vehicles by the European Union (EU) from this year under an agreed a package of measures known as the General Safety Regulation (GSR) but does not apply to the UK following our EU Exit.</p><p>The UK’s departure from the EU provides the platform to capitalise on regulatory freedoms and make decisions that are right for road safety in Great Britain. An assessment is being undertaken on vehicle technologies introduced by GSR and a decision will be taken in due course as to whether to mandate any of those in Great Britain.</p><p>Irrespective of the technology deployed on a vehicle and how it performs, the driver is required by law to be in control of their vehicle at all times. Therefore, as a principle, any Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS), like ISA, can be overridden or switched off by the driver at any time.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Katherine Fletcher question first answered 25/10/2022 12:22:18 answering member 4834 label Biography information for Katherine Fletcher
