Safer Roads Partnership Road Safety Strategy 2019-2021

Making People Safer on Surrey's Roads

Our Aims and Objectives

The primary aim of the Surrey Safer Roads Partnership Drive SMART is "Making People Safer on Surrey's Roads". Our objectives are to work together to:

  • Reduce the number of road casualties, especially fatal and serious injuries
  • Tackle collision clusters and high risk routes
  • Identify and support vulnerable road users to reduce their risk
  • Encourage safer and considerate road user behaviour

Background

Surrey has been reasonably successful in reducing casualties in recent years but there is more to do. Road safety, speeding, and anti-social driving remain a prime concern of Surrey's residents.

Therefore Surrey Police, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Surrey, Surrey County Council (including Surrey Fire and Rescue Service) and Highways England have committed to renew the Drive SMART Partnership.
