National Highways launches summer T.R.I.P. campaign to tackle fatigue on long journeys

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.

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.

An established government road safety programme will prevent an estimated 2,700 deaths and serious injuries over 20 years on some of England’s most dangerous A‑roads – delivering £1.25 billion in benefits to society from a £195 million investment, a new report says.

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.
