answer text <p>England's strategic road network is one of the safest in the world, The Government is providing Highways England with £17.6 billion to improve, operate, and maintain England’s motorways and main A-roads between 2015 and 2020.</p><p> </p><p>This investment supports the delivery of schemes to widen sections of some of our busiest single carriageway roads to dual carriageway standard. It also supports a range of measures to improve safety on remaining single carriageway roads, such as upgrades to junctions, better lay-bys, modernised roadside barriers, safer verges with improved run off protection, new technology, and improved road signing and markings. Budget 2018 announced £25.3 billion for strategic roads, funded by the National Roads Fund, between 2020 and 2025, and this will support continued work on improving road safety.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Enforcement against criminal activity against HGV drivers and their vehicles is a matter for the police. The Department will continue to engage with stakeholders to encourage the development of more safe, secure and high-quality lorry parking facilities. In particular, Highways England is developing its role as statutory planning consultee for such developments on the strategic road network, and this will include consideration of desirable criteria for lorry parking such as security features. In addition, the Department will consider how best to promote the uptake in the UK of the forthcoming EU-wide classifications for safe and secure lorry parking sites.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Almost all local authorities in England have now taken on civil enforcement powers for parking and bus lane contraventions, and the Department for Transport is engaged in discussions with several local authorities which have not yet adopted these powers but are interested in doing so. It is for each local authority to determine how it wishes to apply these powers, subject to the restrictions of legislation and statutory guidance. The Department has no current plans to enable local authorities outside London to take on civil enforcement powers for moving traffic offences, which are a matter for the police.</p> more like this
