Our vision
South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership (SYSRP) has signed up to Vision Zero - an ambitious strategy to eliminate all death and serious injury from our county's roads.
On our journey toward Vision Zero, we have set a 2030 target of reducing the number of people killed or seriously injured on our roads by 50%.
To support this, we will work towards a 'Safe System' approach, which provides a more forgiving road system that is designed to protect people from death and serious injury.
To do this we need to improve the safety of all parts of the system - roads and roadsides, speeds, vehicles, road users and post-collision response - so that if one part fails, other parts will still protect the people involved.
Using these five themes, partners will work with members of the public to reduce casualties and prevent the needless pain, grief and suffering caused by every collision.
As a result of our commitment to delivering Vision Zero the public of South Yorkshire can expect to see:
-
an extensive programme of community engagement and publicity activity, particularly focused on the main casualty groups including young people aged 17-24 years, in a bid to achieve a shift in attitudes and behaviour towards safer roads use
-
a programme of safer roads engineering schemes and local safety schemes
-
police and camera enforcement of road traffic laws in a bid to tackle poor driver behaviour which can negatively impact on road safety
Our new strategy - 'South Yorkshire Strategy to 2030 and beyond...' sets out our overarching approach to providing an intelligence-led casualty reduction service.
It is our hope that all our partners and stakeholders, working together with our communities, will help deliver to improvements in road safety.
