To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to ensure that all road traffic accident reports include, as a matter of routine, an assessment of whether poor vision was a factor.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to ensure that all road traffic accident reports include, as a matter of routine, an assessment of whether poor vision was a factor.
All personal-injury accidents on the public highway that are attended by a police officer should be recorded and reported to the Department for Transport.
The set of information collected for each accident includes a list of factors which, in the judgement of the police officer, contributed to the accident. One of these factors is ‘uncorrected, defective eyesight’. Police officers attending accidents should record this feature in all cases where poor vision was a factor.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the evaluation of the longer semi-trailer trial: annual report 2015, published in August 2016, what roads are being used by longer semi-trailers; and what the mileage is of such trailers on minor and urban roads.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, with reference to the evaluation of the longer semi-trailer trial: annual report 2015, published in August 2016, what roads are being used by longer semi-trailers; and what the mileage is of such trailers on minor and urban roads.
The original trial terms of reference and operator undertaking issued in 2011 did not place a requirement on participating companies to track the exact movements of each Longer Semi Trailer (LST) or to log routes taken. When the trial started in 2012 GPS tracking was a new technology and to have placed such a tracking requirement on the operators would have been considered an unreasonable burden on the industry and would probably have excluded smaller operators from participating, limiting the coverage and value of the trial.
The expectation across the industry has always been that compared with other long articulated HGVs, LSTs would be likely to operate a greater proportion of their journeys on major roads, performing trunking duties. This is supported by the leg type use charts in the Annual Report, but is not ‘proven’.
During 2015, DfT and Risk Solutions looked into the options for studying LST routing by road types including sampling of the part of the fleet that is fitted with trailer GPS, backfitting the entire fleet (or those not currently fitted) with trailer GPS, or modelling the ‘likely’ routing of LSTs using the origin and destination data already provided in the trial data submissions. Modelling the likely route was chosen because it would effectively provide an insight into the balance of road types used by LSTs at a reasonable cost to the taxpayer, while minimising the additional burden on the industry.
After a feasibility study in late 2015, the trial data requirement was adjusted to make journey start/end postcodes a requested item for 2016-P1 (Jan-May) and mandatory thereafter. Operators have responded well to this requirement and Risk Solutions have start/end postcode data for more than 90% of all LST journeys) to date in 2016.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will consider withdrawing the latest THINK video, which warns cyclists about the dangers of left-turning lorries, and replace it with a video warning lorry drivers not to overtake cyclists and to hang back instead of turning left across them.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they will consider withdrawing the latest THINK video, which warns cyclists about the dangers of left-turning lorries, and replace it with a video warning lorry drivers not to overtake cyclists and to hang back instead of turning left across them.
The THINK! cycle safety campaign ended on 23 October 2016 and we have ceased promoting the ‘Things you shouldn’t get caught between’ film.
The aim of the film and wider THINK! campaign is to cut road casualties. Our goal is to make sure that all road users take responsibility for their own safety. The film was just one element of a wider campaign aimed at cyclists, HGV drivers and motorists.
The film showed a cyclist undertaking a lorry to highlight the danger of getting caught between a lorry and a left turn. It was developed after research showed that 35% of people who ride bikes thought it was not at all or only a little dangerous to position yourself to the front left of an HGV – an area where 94% of cyclist fatalities happen.
The message for cyclists to ‘hang back’ refers to a very specific manoeuvre when a lorry ahead is turning left – an area where a third of collisions between HGVs and cyclists happen. It provided simple advice to help cyclists avoid finding themselves in a potentially dangerous situation. It also showed that even if a cyclist feels safe to undertake, a driver might make an error that could cause potentially fatal consequences.
To ensure we deliver the best value for money, we use specific communication channels to target different audiences with different messages.
We worked closely with the Freight Transport Association (FTA), Transport for London, and Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency to target HGV drivers, and advise them on what steps they need to take to avoid a collision with a cyclist. This included messages such as taking extra time to look out for cyclists and giving cyclist space at junctions. For motorists, we developed a series of tips about what drivers can do to look out for cyclists.
Highlighting the dangers of left turning vehicles is an important issue to communicate. The campaign generated national media coverage and wide spread debate about the issue – among cyclists, motorists and pedestrians.
The number of cyclists killed on our roads has fallen to its lowest level on record. But we can never be complacent. THINK! has a responsibility to look at how we can influence behaviour to help bring casualty figures down further. Any death is a tragedy and if a death can be prevented by raising awareness of this key issue we stand by our decision to do so.
An independent research agency will review the impact of the campaign on people’s attitudes and claimed behaviour. We will use this, and the feedback we have received to inform future campaign activity.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to promote the road safety message to pupils, particularly during periods of the year when the UK is not on daylight saving time.

The Government’s THINK! road safety campaign promotes road safety learning amongst children and young people via its online educational resource programme. THINK! have a suite of downloadable materials - tailored by age group - available to teachers, parents and road safety professionals to help them deliver road safety education to pupils.
Included in these resources is practical information and advice for how children can stay safe on our roads during the winter months when the nights are longer.
THINK! is in the process of reviewing the child and teen resource to ensure that the materials are consistent with modern educational approaches.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how much his Department plans to allocate from the Pothole Action Fund for each local authority for each year to 2020-21.
The Department has announced allocations to local highway authorities totalling £120 million from the £250 million Pothole Action Fund. Further announcements on how the remaining funding will be allocated will be made at the appropriate time.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have considered making mandatory the wearing by under-19 year olds of high-visibility clothing while cycling or walking on the roads network after dark; and if so, with what result.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have considered making mandatory the wearing by under-19 year olds of high-visibility clothing while cycling or walking on the roads network after dark; and if so, with what result.
The safety of vulnerable road users is a priority and we recommend that pedestrians and cyclists wear clothing that makes them sufficiently visible to other road users, especially in poor light and at night. However, wearing high visibility clothing is a matter of individual choice. Imposing additional regulations could lead to people choosing not to walk or cycle and would be difficult to enforce.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many housing developments in England have roads or sewerage requiring adoption after more than five years of occupation by residents.
To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many housing developments in England have roads or sewerage requiring adoption after more than five years of occupation by residents.
The Department does not hold the information you request because, although the Building Regulations require new housing to have adequate drainage and access, there is no requirement for all roads or sewerage to be adopted as a matter of course. This is a matter for the developer.
