Road safety roadshow to tour Lancashire in September

Residents across Lancashire are getting the chance to find out how Lancashire County Council is working to reduce death and injury on the highway as its road safety experts tour the county during September.

Staff from Lancashire’s Traffic and Safety Section are taking their tour bus to 25 locations around the 12 Lancashire Districts. As well as quizzing the experts, visitors will be able to pick up information leaflets and watch a video about the Section's work. Visitors will also get the chance to voice their opinion on the issues that matter to them. Everything - from driving, walking and cycling, to the school run -will be up for discussion.

"This is a great chance for the public to meet the people who work hard to make Lancashire's highways safer," Terry Carter, traffic and safety section manager, explained. "Everyone has questions and opinions about road safety as it affects us all, so it is important that we explain how we reach decisions that affect local people.

"Road safety is not just about traffic calming and speed cameras - that is why we will also be highlighting important things we do like training for school children, safer driving and research".
