Members considered a report of
the Executive Director of City Futures seeking approval for
the Road Safety Action Plan 2024-2029.
|

|
|
|
13.1.1
|
Discussion took place around
the five pillars of safety and whether these could be listed in
order of priority; further work that could be done to educate
children who would then, in turn, influence their parents; and
removing barriers to walking and cycling for example, by increased
gritting of pavements in winter and improved lighting.

Reasons for
Decision
|
|
|
|
|
13.3.1
|
The expected benefits from the action plan are
focused on road safety – to reduce the opportunities for road
traffic collisions resulting in injury. This aligns with Sheffield
and South Yorkshire's joint aim of Vision Zero.
|
|
13.3.2
|
Further expected benefits from the measures
outlined in the action plan are an increase in safety, perception
of safety, and improving health by supporting safe active travel
movements.

|
|
13.4.1

Road Safety Action Plan.
