  1. LCCG stats analysis 1b PCC plan road safety references DRAFT The Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Road Safety Partnership also has a key role to play in reducing accidents, injuries and deaths on our roads and I will work with them to support them “provide a safer environment on the roads of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.” FINAL The risk presented by the increasing volumes of traffic are a concern to some sections of the community, particularly in rural areas. Road safety is a core activity of the police service. A great deal of work goes into reducing accidents and injuries on our roads including investment in mobile and static speed cameras to target accident hotspots, “Fatal 4” (seat belt, speeding, drink drive and mobile phone) targeted operations and education days, and the recent introduction of the three force Serious Collision Investigation Unit. The latter is a collaborative approach to improve investigation of serious accidents and to bring offenders to justice where appropriate. The Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Road Safety Partnership also has a key role to play in reducing accidents, injuries and deaths on our roads and I will work with them to “provide a safer environment on the roads of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.” I expect the police to continue to work in partnership at all levels to make our roads safer.

  2. LCCG stats analysis 1b Cyclists are vulnerable • Cyclists are under 1% of road traffic by mileage • But they are involved in over 8% of serious and slight road traffic collisions, and suffer 2% to 4% of the fatalities (2009 – 2011 figures)

LCCG stats analysis 1b Police action? • What can the police do? • Increase policing of road traffic laws – advanced stop zones, speeding, mobile phone use, dangerous overtaking • Take seriously incidents involving dangerous driving against cyclists • Make clear that threats to cyclists are unacceptable, both on social networks and on the road [see examples from @CycleHatred]
