Road Safety GB
Road Safety GB is a national road safety organisation made up of representatives from groups across the UK, including local government road safety teams.
Our aim is to reduce the number and severity of road collisions – and by doing so to reduce loss of life and personal injury – by raising awareness of road safety and safer road user behaviour by providing training, advice, information, leadership, research, publicity, informed comment and other services to our members and other national and regional road safety stakeholders.
We work to develop a range of educational initiatives – often in partnership with other organisations – all of which are widely publicised to inform the national debate on road safety.
We also aim to inform and influence public opinion by making available information on the subject of road safety, working with other organisations to achieve shared goals.
Road Safety GB also organises the annual National Road Safety Conference, runs training courses via the Road Safety GB Academy, owns and manages the Road Safety Knowledge Centre and publishes the national road safety newsfeed on this website.
