Road Safety in Stoke-on-Trent

We are committed to reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured on Stoke-on-Trent's roads.

There were 1,164 road traffic casualties in 2007. This is a decrease on the previous year by just over 5.5 %.

We are working to reduce casualties through a combination of education, engineering and enforcement measures in line with government targets. The targets, outlined in their national road safety strategy, are:

• a 40 per cent reduction in the number of people killed or seriously injured;
• a 50 per cent reduction in the number of children killed or seriously injured; and
• a 10 per cent reduction in the slight casualty rate.
