Reducing Road Danger: Empowering Communities in London
Date and time
Description
Achieving Vision Zero involves Londoners being empowered to help deliver it.
Register and join RoadPeace and Road Danger Reduction Forum in learning how Londoners are being empowered to reduce road danger.
London is committed to delivering Vision Zero - no deaths or serious injuries on the transport network by 2041. Yet 2018 saw 4,065 people reported killed or seriously injured. And road danger reduction goes beyond these statistics: people are deterred from cycling and walking (which the Mayor wants to increase) by their perception of road danger.
The fundamental reduction in road danger in London which is now on the agenda will involve Londoners themselves – empowered to assist in enforcing traffic law and successfully winning over local communities for bold initiatives.
Sessions will include presentations by Metropliotan Police on Vision Zero and 3rd party reporting, as well as experts in submitting footage and the technology behind it. Attendees will also hear from activists who have successfully campaigned within a community to reduce road danger, and the successes of Community Roadwatch.
