Over 70 highway improvements at accident hotspots have helped cut the death and serious injuries by 8% in Nottinghamshire.
It has been done by a mixture of the 3 E's, Education, Enforcement and Engineering. This has save 58 lives in 2008 compared with 2007.
The Great news is that the number of children killed on Notts roads fell by 18% yet the national average increased by 2%. Education included tackling issues relating to pedestrian and in car safety give to pre-driver groups in secondary schools. However it is now up to the parents to reinforce safe behavior using the roads, either on foot, cycling, biking or in car.
So well done Notts.
