Road safety

The Suffolk Roadsafe Partnership brings together organisations involved with road safety in the county. Its aim is to reduce casualties on the road network.

Education

We provide advice and run awareness campaigns to help all road users stay safe. 

This includes information for:

• drivers
• cyclists
• motorcyclists
• pedestrians

The Suffolk Roadsafe website has advice and information about our current campaigns. You can also use it to find out about:

• GrandDriver scheme - our FREE course for older drivers where we offer workshops and driving assessments for anyone over the age of 60 and living in Suffolk 
• Get in Gear - our course for new young drivers 
• Driving for Work - advice on policies and driver training for business drivers
• Bikeability cyclist training

Driver diversionary courses

Enforcement

Suffolk Constabulary is in charge of making roads safer by enforcing traffic law and setting up safety cameras.

They are focusing on tackling serial offenders and the worse offences of the 'fatal four' factors that contribute to more than half of all collisions. They are:

• drink driving
• driving while on drugs
• speeding
• careless driving

Engineering

We use engineering solutions to encourage slower and more careful driving. This includes:

• speed limits
• speed bumps
• signs 

We are working to use education and enforcement more than engineering measures to improve road safety. We are focusing on the road users and how they behave rather than the road location.
