The Road Safety Foundation (RSF) has carried out an independent review for the Office of Rail and Road (ORR) to consider how Highways England prioritises investments to improve safety outcomes on the strategic road network (SRN) to ensure that it delivers the maximum benefit for road users.

This review into how Highways England prioritises its safety investments on the SRN found commitment to safety throughout Highways England reflecting strong leadership from its Board and CEO. Taken together, the company’s long term goal that no-one should come to harm on the network by 2040, the concrete interim targets for death and serious injury and the regulated environment provide a world class high level safety performance management framework.
