<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>
