What are we doing?
Carrying out an urgent review of operations that require road workers to be exposed to live traffic with a view to reducing the risks and change the requirements to have signs in the central reserve which require the crossing of live carriageways.
Introducing more targeted speed limits at roadworks, which can be altered to match the safety requirements. This will be combined with increased use of average speed detection equipment and other methods of influencing road users to drive safety.
Improving accuracy and content of variable message signs to give clearer messages to road users about road works and the presence of road workers. Requiring more use of vehicle-activated signs that warn drivers that they are exceeding the speed limit.
Producing proposals for improved training for workers on high-speed roads and agree requirements for appropriate training for all workers on the Highways Agency's network.
Developing proposals with industry for more publicity to promote better driver awareness and support improved driver education.
With industry, developing an incident and near miss reporting call centre to support the ongoing improvements in data collection, analysis, learning and publicity.
