To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of the appropriateness of time taken to implement road safety measures following serious or fatal road traffic collisions; what steps her Department is taking to reduce barriers to the introduction of traffic calming measures where local communities...
The Government has not made a specific assessment of the appropriateness of the time taken to implement road safety measures following individual serious or fatal road traffic collisions.
Responsibility for decisions on local roads, including the introduction of traffic-calming measures and other safety interventions, rests with the relevant local traffic authority. Local authorities are best placed to assess local circumstances, including collision history, traffic conditions, road layout, community concerns and the needs of vulnerable road users.
The Department provides design guidance in Local Transport Note 1/07: Traffic Calming, available at Local transport notes - GOV.UK
As set out in the Highways (Traffic Calming) Regulations 1999, authorities must consult the local chief of police and other organisations they consider are likely to be affected on proposed traffic calming measures, but there is no set process for this and it is for local authorities to determine how best to fulfil this requirement.

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to tackle the dangerous driving of illegally modified e-bikes on public roads.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps she is taking to tackle the dangerous driving of illegally modified e-bikes on public roads.
E-bikes that do not comply with the requirements of the Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle Regulations 1983 are motor vehicles and must therefore be registered, taxed and insured to be used on public roads. The rider must also wear a safety helmet and hold a driving licence.
The police can seize e-bikes not properly registered as motor vehicles under Section 165A of the Road Traffic Act 1988. In addition, in the Crime and Policing Act 2026 the Government has strengthened the powers for the police to seize vehicles used anti-socially by removing the need to provide a warning. These powers apply to e-bikes that have been registered as motor vehicles.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to promote the safe and responsible use of electric bicycles, including tackling illegally modified e-bikes that do not comply with speed and power restrictions.
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps her Department is taking to promote the safe and responsible use of electric bicycles, including tackling illegally modified e-bikes that do not comply with speed and power restrictions.
The Department has published advice for consumers on the safe use of legally compliant e-bikes. This guidance has recently been updated to refer to the industry-led "E-Bike Positive" campaign.
Where e-bikes have been modified to overcome the power and speed restrictions set out in the Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle Regulations, they are motor vehicles and must therefore be registered, taxed and insured. The rider must also wear a safety helmet and hold a driving licence. The Department has published further advice making this clear, and ultimately the police can seize such e-bikes where they are used on the road without being properly registered as motor vehicles.

The Department for Transport has not been consulted by the Home Office on the potential road safety implications of proposals to accommodate asylum seekers at MoD Bicester.
Local traffic management, including consideration of impacts on local roads such as the B4011, is a matter for the relevant local highway authority, Oxfordshire County Council. It would be for the Home Office, as the lead department for the proposals, to engage with the appropriate local authorities and other relevant bodies as necessary.
I would be happy to ask the Minister for Road Safety to discuss this matter further with my hon. Friend and ensure appropriate meetings take place.

That this House celebrates 10 years since the City of Edinburgh Council began implementing its 20mph speed limit scheme under the Leadership of Councillor Lesley Hinds; notes that the programme, initiated in 2016, was one of the first city‑wide speed‑reduction initiatives in the UK and has since become a model for other local authorities; recognises the scheme’s contribution to improved road safety, including reductions in serious injuries and lives lost, and its role in creating more liveable streets for pedestrians, cyclists and families; further notes that peer reviewed research published in 2022 and 2024 revealed that fatalities and serious injuries fell significantly following the implementation of the scheme; acknowledges the positive impact on public health, active travel, and community wellbeing; commends the council staff, campaigners, and local residents whose sustained efforts helped deliver and embed the scheme; and encourages continued support for measures that make urban environments safer, healthier, and more accessible for all.
