answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/05/2019 answer text <p>The Department has no current plans to reintroduce national road safety targets.</p><p>There is no robust academic evidence to indicate that the setting of any targets in the UK would contribute to progress in road casualty reduction. In fact there has been a stalling of progress in road casualty reductions across many economically advanced countries, including in countries with targets (e.g. Sweden and the Netherlands).</p><p>The 2015 Road Safety statement sets out the Department for Transport’s overall principles and priorities in relation to British road safety.
