Road Safety and Travel Awareness

road safety picture
 
The Road Safety and Travel Awareness Team carry out a statutory responsibility under the 1988 Road Traffic Act to deliver a program of road safety education, training and publicity.
 
Our aims are 
  • to help reduce the number and severity of road traffic casualties
  • to raise awareness of the way people travel.
 
We encourage people to examine their current mode of travel and consider its effect on the environment and their own health and well being.
 
The links on the left provide a summary of what we do. For more information on our services, please contact us using the forms on each page or phone 01384 817050.

Winter Driving
Dudley's Road Safety Partnership will be distributing winter driving packs to help motorists prepare for travelling over the winter months.
 
The packs include information and advice on coping with severe weather conditions, planning journeys and what to do if problems occur once journeys are underway. A free ice scraper is also included to help drivers keep their windows clear, especially important as the weather gets colder.

Packs will be distributed by the police, fire service and Dudley Council.
 
Alternatively, to request your pack call Dudley Council’s road safety and travel awareness team on 01384 817050.
