A single road death is one too many.

In 2024, 19,940 people lost their lives in road crashes in the EU, a 12% drop compared to 2019.

Progress is real but not enough.

To meet our goal of halving road deaths and serious injuries by 2030 and Vision Zero by 2050, we must accelerate our efforts.

We will focus on safer infrastructure, stronger enforcement, vehicle technologies, new mobility, and road safety research.

Safer roads are not optional. They are essential.

"The headline numbers are brutal. UK GDP is now 6–8% smaller than it would have been by 2025 – worse than forecast, not better. That is a permanent loss of national income, not a blip."

"Investment has collapsed. UK business investment is 18% lower than in comparable economies, as firms put money on hold or moved it elsewhere. Employment and productivity are both around 4% lower, locking in weaker wage growth and lower living standards."
