We campaign to minimise road danger through improved driver and vehicle regulation in conjunction with people-centred design of our public spaces.
We demand that within the next parliament, the government:
Makes 20mph the default speed limit in built up areas
Implements a nationwide ban on pavement parking
Allocates 10% of highway spending to high quality infrastructure for walking, wheeling and cycling.
We demand that the sentencing council
Reviews its recommendations on driving bans for driving offences such that
Lifetime bans are the automatic dispensation for the worst offences
Longer bans are mandatory for less serious offences or near misses
We demand that the CPS / police services
Impose interim driving bans as bail conditions for people arrested for or charged with causing death or serious injury by dangerous, intoxicated or careless driving.
We demand that every local authority
Establishes 'school streets' outside every viable primary school by 2030
Focus their Local Cycling and Walking Infrastructure Plans (LCWIP) and delivery on safe pedestrian and cycle routes to all primary and secondary schools
Use existing road pricing powers (with exceptions for disabled people, low income workers etc) to reduce excess driving and raise money for local street improvements
