answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/03/2024 answer text <p>The Government is investing £24 billion on the Strategic Road Network during the second Road Investment Strategy (RIS2 - 2020-2025) to fund the operation, maintenance, renewal and enhancement of the network. Safety is a key consideration National Highways takes into account across all its activity and much of this investment aims to improve safety across the network for all road users. A specific Safety and Congestion Fund is in place as part of National Highways’ Designated Funds programme, this delivers safety improvements on specific high-risk roads, accident-cluster locations and potential suicide-cluster areas.</p><p> </p><p>National Highways also has a Key Performance Indicator for RIS2 with a target of reducing those killed or seriously injured on the Strategic Road Network by 50% compared to the 2005-2009 baseline average. The Department for Transport and the Office of Rail and Road, in its capacity of Highways Monitor, hold National Highways to account for delivery against this performance indicator and work collectively to ensure appropriate action plans are in place to maximise safety on the network.</p><p> </p><p>Improving road safety is one of six key objectives in developing the third Road Investment Strategy (RIS3). The level of ambition within the Performance Specification and focus of the Investment Plan are the key levers through which this objective will be supported.</p> answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman question first answered 15/03/2024 15:08:21 answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman previous answer version 23987 answering member constituency Hexham answering member printed Guy Opperman answering member 4142 label Biography information for Guy Opperman
