answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/10/2022 answer text <p>In 2021, road casualties showed signs of a return to pre-pandemic trends, increasing compared to 2020 when casualty numbers were low, largely as a result of periods of lockdown resulting in a reduction in road traffic. Over the second half of the year, both casualties and traffic returned to levels similar to those in 2019. Monthly changes in casualties during 2021 generally showed a similar trend to changes in motor vehicle traffic levels.</p><p>We announced in the summer of 2021 that we would devise a new Road Safety Strategic Framework which will include a new implementation plan to improve road safety. This will be published in due course.</p> answering member constituency South Ribble answering member printed Katherine Fletcher question first answered 27/10/2022 11:58:25 answering member 4834 label Biography information for Katherine Fletcher
