22 February - 24 February 2010
The Government has proposed that Great Britain adopts a new long-term vision for Road Safety: 'Making Britain's roads the safest in the world'. From 2010 Britain will be leaving the current road safety strategy and target period which began in 2000 and entering a new one, with fresh updated priority areas and new ambituous casualty reduction targets.
RoSPA's Road Safety Congress in 2000 focused on the lessons the UK could learn from how other countries, and international organisations (such as the UN WHO and the EC) tackle death and injury on the road. Our Road Safety Congress 2010 will again explore what we can learn from how other countries adress road safety. The programme will include examples of the following from other countries and international organisations:
- National, regional, and global road safety strategies
- Case studies from individual countries of innovative road safety practice
- Examples of how some countries have made major road safety improvements in recent years at both national and local level
- Different approaches to those used in the UK
- The work and views of organisations, such as WHO, the UN, etc
The conference will take place at the Holiday Inn Hotel, located in the centre of Stratford-Upon-Avon. It is 1 mile from the railway station, within easy reach of J15 of the M40, and 20 miles from Birmingham International airport. The hotel's car park will be free for all delegates.
