answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>In June 2018, the Government announced that the RAC Foundation, supported by £480,000 of Government funding, would lead the trial of an innovative new approach to road casualty investigation alongside police forces. As part of this initiative dedicated teams will be carrying out in-depth research in selected cases to get a better understanding of what is really causing collisions on our roads. These collisions will be analysed in 3 regions over 3 years and will look at collisions covering a range of modes of travel, including motorbikes. The Government will release a final report at the end of the project.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/01/2019 17:44:22 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 23/01/2019 answer text <p>The Department has not carried out a study on the effect of speed enforcement in 20mph zones (which have traffic calming measures such as chicanes and speed humps) or on 20mph limits (which have signs only).</p><p> </p><p>DfT guidance recommends that successful 20 mph zones and 20 mph speed limits are mutually reinforcing, i.e. the existing conditions of the road together with measures such as traffic calming or signing, publicity and information as part of the scheme, lead to a mean traffic speed compliant with the speed limit. Within this approach, to achieve compliance there should be no expectation on the police to provide additional enforcement beyond their routine activity, unless this has been explicitly agreed with the local traffic authority.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 23/01/2019 13:46:45 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2019 answer text <p>The Government’s Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS), published in April 2017, identified £1.2 billion of funding available for cycling and walking projects over the period 2016-21. Since then, additional funding streams have been made available, including the Transforming Cities Fund, Clean Air Fund, Future High Streets Fund and Housing Infrastructure Fund. As a result, almost £2bn of funding is now projected to be invested in cycling and walking projects between 2016/17 to 2020/21 from a range of funding programmes across Government.</p><p> </p><p>The Government response to the CWIS Safety Review, published in November 2018, gave further details, including a year by year breakdown of the funding projected for cycling and walking over the period to 2021. The Department is unable to provide a detailed breakdown of funding between cycling and walking projects because in some cases funding allocations are still to be confirmed by the relevant Government Department or local body, and in practice many projects support both cycling and walking. Further investment decisions will also be shaped by the forthcoming Spending Review.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/01/2019 17:05:02 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
