One of the council's key transport priorities is to reduce the number of people that are killed or seriously injured on the roads in Cumbria.
Each year a programme of engineering safety studies is carried out where clusters of accidents have occurred. This programme is developed using the accident database by a sub-group of the Cumbria Road Safety Partnership (CRSP) which includes Cumbria Police. We carry out studies at single sites, whole route lengths and in urban areas. The accidents are analysed to establish any patterns and, where possible, to identify engineering measures that are likely to reduce future collisions.
Cumbria County Council provide Road safety as part of their Transport & Roads service.
