Survey finds strong public support for lower speed limits on rural roads

Living Streets has launched a new campaign highlighting concerns over the increasing use of autonomous delivery robots on pavements, warning that their operation is outpacing the development of clear legislation and raising safety and accessibility issues for pedestrians.

National Highways is urging motorists to prioritise rest before setting off on long journeys this summer, as new figures reveal that driver fatigue remains a significant factor in serious road collisions during the holiday season.

Road Safety Week 2026 will take place from 15–21 November, with this year’s campaign focusing on the theme ‘Safe People on the Move’.

Parents can now access free, evidence‑based resources to support new drivers in passing their test and developing safer driving behaviours.

Highway authorities could find it easier to improve night-time road safety following Department for Transport (DfT) Type Approval for a new active road stud that can be installed using the same methods as conventional cast iron road studs.
