Transport
Tom Brake (Carshalton and Wallington, Liberal Democrat)
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport if he will take steps to measure public perceptions of road safety.
Stephen Hammond (Wimbledon, Conservative)
An indicator about perceptions of road safety is one of the indicators planned for the road safety outcomes framework, contained in the Strategic Road Safety Framework published in May 2011. Research is in progress about developing an accurate and robust indicator.
The annual British Social Attitudes Survey includes a section about public perceptions, including in relation to safety on residential streets, drink and drug driving, the use of speed cameras on roads and the use of mobile phones while driving.
