What We Believe
Many of us have either been injured in a road accident or we know someone close that has been injured or even killed in a collision. At Road Safety Initiatives LLP, we are passionate about reducing the number of people injured or killed on the roads. Developing your roads for a safer future really does matter to us. We are doing this by preventing accidents happening in the first place and by responding to the many accidents that are already happening. Our practical recommendations in Road Safety Audits, Collision Studies and Road Safety Reviews will save your organisation time, adverse publicity, litigation, money and also help to minimise the trauma and trouble of road injuries.
Highway Authorities also have responsibilities and statutory duties for highway maintenance and road safety. They are also subject to the civil law of negligence or criminal offences following a fatal road traffic collision. Section 39 of the 1988 Road Traffic Act places a statutory road safety duty on Local Authorities to prevent collisions on new roads. Section 41 of the 1980 Highways Act places a duty on local authorities to maintain the highway.
The Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 was introduced to allow corporate bodies (i.e. highway authorities) to be more easily prosecuted for Corporate Manslaughter. The Highway Authority can be liable if a person is killed as a result of senior management failure that falls below what could be reasonably expected and there is The Disability Discrimination Act 2005.
