answer text <p>The Electronic Service Delivery for Abnormal Loads (ESDAL²), operated by Highways England, has cost £3.9million to develop and operate to date.</p><p> </p><p>There are commercial systems that perform some elements of ESDAL², but do not offer the same end-to-end service. These have been financed through private concerns and no public money has been used to develop or operate them.</p><p> </p><p>For the period 1<sup>st</sup> September to 31<sup>st</sup> October 2016, Network Rail has received a total of 11,308 notifications through ESDAL² from 361 companies. In the same period, it has received 6,834 notifications from 87 companies who have used a commercial software platform (or 29% of total notifications received in the period) with approximately half of these being from a single company. There have been 5,149 notifications from other forms received by Network Rail, which equates to 22% of total notifications received.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The DVSA’s Operator Compliance Risk Score (OCRS) is a scheme that supports DVSA’s compliance monitoring for operators. In contrast Vehicle Special Orders in relation to the Special Types General Order (STGO) for abnormal loads are granted by the Secretary of State for Transport through Highways England.</p><p> </p><p>These two schemes are not connected or interdependent. The Compliance Risk Score does not form any part of the process for granting an application for a Vehicle Special Order. Both schemes are designed with specific requirements. We have no plans to change the process to make either scheme conditional on the other.</p> more like this

If and when an evaluation about the impact of the changed limit in Scotland is conducted we would of course consider it, however we believe that rigorous enforcement and serious penalties for drink drivers are a more effective deterrent than changing the drink driving limit.</p> more like this

answer text <p>Since 1 May 2015, the Department for Transport has not taken any specific, additional steps to directly reduce the number of fatalities to cyclists caused by heavy goods vehicles (HGVs).</p><p> </p><p>However, improving road safety including the reduction of cyclists killed or seriously injured on the roads, particularly by HGVs is a subject that we take extremely seriously. The Department continues to work to improve the safety of cyclists and the reduction of cyclist fatalities, through actions including regulations impacting on the design of vehicles, and education campaigns aimed at both drivers and cyclists, for example the THINK! “tips” campaign.</p><p> </p><p>This THINK! campaign uses a series of practical tips to advise and remind both groups of the rules of the road and the positive actions they can take to help reduce cyclist casualties.</p><p> </p><p>The campaign previously ran in Autumn 2013 and Spring 2014 using paid-for roadside advertising in five cities where cycling KSIs are over represented - Cambridge, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester and Birmingham.</p><p> </p><p>THINK! repeated the campaign in these five cities in March 2015, to build on awareness and knowledge of the tips amongst drivers and cyclists. In addition, the campaign was also extended to seven additional cities – Southampton, Newcastle, Portsmouth, Bradford, Kingston upon Hull, Brighton and Hove and Liverpool, these were selected as they also have high levels cyclists being killed or seriously injured (KSIs).</p><p> </p><p>Later this year, the Department will be commencing Section 21 of the Infrastructure Act 2015, and consulting on a Cycling and Walking Investment Strategy (CWIS). The safety of cyclists and our plans to tackle cyclist fatalities caused by all vehicle types, including HGVs will form a key part of the CWIS document.</p><p> </p>
