A34: Safety

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, whether her Department is developing an integrated safety strategy for the A34; and what discussions she has had with relevant local authorities on (a) funding and (b) delivery of safety improvements along the route.

Answer

National Highways’s route strategies are the principal evidence-gathering mechanism that informs investment planning for the Strategic Road Network. The A34 is considered as part of the ‘Solent to Midlands’ route strategy where ‘Improving Safety for All’ is a key theme and objective. There is significant consultation with local authorities and stakeholders in the formation of these strategies, and they are reviewed, and reconsulted on, as part of the development of each 5-year Road Investment Strategy cycle.
