Road Safety

Agreed on 17 January 2024. Updated on 14 February 2024

As we continue to experience shorter days and longer nights, the risk of serious injury through road related incidents remains high.

Our focus will be on protecting the most vulnerable road users, young people, by educating them in road safety and the effectiveness of high visibility clothing and being seen.

We will work with our partners in the polices Road Safety Unit, as well as Somerset Councils Road Safety Team, to promote awareness of a wide range of road safety matters.

We will continue to support our police volunteers in the various Community Speed Watch teams across the beat and conduct proactive road related enforcement operations.
