To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of National Highways' work to improve road safety on the A5 and A458.
Lilian Greenwood
Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport), Government Whip, Lord Commissioner of HM Treasury
The Department for Transport has not conducted a specific assessment of the adequacy of National Highways' work to improve road safety on the English sections of the A5 and A458.
The Department assesses safety across the Strategic Road Network which includes motorways and major A-roads managed by National Highways using a combination of data-driven analysis, risk-based assessments, and post-project evaluations.
