Safer and healthier travel

Making it easier and safer to travel under our own steam will help us make different decisions.

What you can expect

We are looking at ways to improve safety and increase the take up of alternative methods of travel. Reducing speed limits in built-up areas to make it safer for residents to cycle or walk, improving safety around schools and implementing initiatives that make cycling more accessible for all are being planned and delivered around the county.

How they are being funded

Each of these projects is funded by schemes that encourage alternative methods of travel – inspiring decisions that will help keep us healthier and fitter, whilst also reducing carbon emissions and the amount of traffic on our roads.
