Response to consultation on the Road Safety Action Plan

Our Transport Committee sets out its response to Transport for London's consultation document Towards a Road Safety Action Plan for London: 2020.

The Committee notes that although there has been progress in improving road safety in the capital, it is clear more action is needed especially for vulnerable road users.

The Committee therefore calls for the consultation deadline to be extended to allow relevant organisations sufficient time to make detailed contributions. This would help ensure the development of a robust Road Safety Action Plan that fully addresses the issues faced by vulnerable road users.

The response also sets out specific points in relation to the Committee's work relating to road safety, especially around road safety issues for cyclists and pedestrians.
