Abstract

‘Gloucester Safer City’ is the title given to a major road safety initiative taken in 1996 by the Department for Transport (DfT). The purpose was to demonstrate to highway authorities that road accidents and casualties in urban areas can be substantially reduced if significant funds are made available and towns are treated using safety engineering in a strategic manner, but also with safety integrated into other town policies and activities. This report presents the main evaluation of the project and describes how it developed, how the monitoring was carried out and what the outcomes were. It also describes the management processes involved.
