answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/12/2014 answer text <p>The THINK! campaign annual budget since 2009/10 is outlined in the following table:</p><p><strong> </strong></p><table><tbody><tr><td><p><strong>Financial year</strong></p></td><td><p><strong>Allocated annual budget</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2009/10</p></td><td><p>£19,200,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2010/11</p></td><td><p>£6,800,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2011/12</p></td><td><p>£4,100,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2012/13</p></td><td><p>£3,570,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2013/14</p></td><td><p>£3,750,000</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>2014/15</p></td><td><p>£5,500,000</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>Since June 2010 Government marketing spend has been reduced to help deliver efficiency savings. Since then, only the most essential campaigns – including the THINK! campaign – have continued.</p><p> </p><p>It is vital that taxpayers’ money is spent wisely and spend is prioritised using killed and seriously injured statistics for road users. We are delivering more efficient road safety initiatives by focusing spending on those activities which are most likely to reach our target audience. For example to date, our new drink drive film has been viewed 696, 000 times.</p><p> </p><p>We continually monitor attitudes towards drink driving, road casualty statistics and policing data (such as breath tests) to inform our campaign strategies.</p><p><em> </em></p><p>The most recent annual road casualty figures, for 2013, show Britain’s roads are still among the safest in the world and fatalities are the lowest since records began in 1926. But one death on the road is one too many, which is why our focus remains on tackling dangerous drivers and investing in making our roads safer for everyone.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Kramer question first answered 17/12/2014 16:43:52 answering member 1557 label Biography information for Baroness Kramer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/12/2014 answer text <p>Estimates of the amount of working time lost because of traffic jams are not held centrally.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Department does produce statistics on congestion on locally managed roads by monitoring average speeds on these roads during the weekday morning peak, defined as 7am to 10am. Average speeds are measured in both directions of travel.</p><p> </p><p>The Department also produces statistics on the reliability of journeys on the strategic road network by monitoring the percentage of journeys that are ‘on time’.</p><p> </p><p>These statistics and supporting information can be found at:</p><p><a target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/road-congestion-and-reliability-statistics</a></p><p> </p><p>In addition, estimates of modelled total lost time, defined as the additional time spent travelling compared to that in free flow conditions (but not necessarily held up in traffic jams), are available through the Department’s National Transport Model (NTM). The NTM only models certain years and is mostly used for forecasting future years. However, the model forecasted that in 2010 a total of 41Million Working Days were lost in England on all roads.</p><p> </p><p>Although national traffic levels have been broadly static for the last ten years, this masks increasing traffic on motorways which reached a record high of 64.5 billion miles in the year ending September 2014. Given the latest trends and available evidence, it is reasonable to plan for growing levels of traffic, particularly on the Strategic Road Network.</p><p> </p><p>Therefore, we have recently announced the biggest road investment in decades, with plans to triple levels of spending by the end of the decade and add over 1,300 new lane miles through schemes being delivered over the next parliament on motorways and trunk roads, tackling congestion and fixing some of the most notorious and longstanding problem areas on the network.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member constituency Scarborough and Whitby answering member printed Mr Robert Goodwill question first answered 18/12/2014 13:57:24 answering member 1562 label Biography information for Sir Robert Goodwill
