answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2023 answer text <p>Britain’s roads are some of the safest in the world, but we are always looking at ways to help keep drivers and all road users safe. In June 2018 the Department announced £100 million of funding to drive forward safety improvements on ‘A’ roads in England, to date £147.5 million has been allocated throughout a series of rounds over the last 6 years. This project works closely with Local Authorities and the Road Safety Foundation, providing tailored safety interventions specific to each road’s risk, encouraging safe system principles and improving infrastructure for more active travel. This scheme is expected to save 1500 lives over the next 20 years and is already improving safety for all road users.</p><p>The Highway Code was updated on 29 January 2022, the changes will lead to improvements in road safety as they encourage more mutual respect and consideration for all road users.</p> answering member constituency North West Durham answering member printed Mr Richard Holden question first answered 11/09/2023 13:13:06 answering member 4813 label Biography information for Mr Richard Holden
