Background |
The Pedestrian's Association

failed to keep them clean and safe. |

lower speeds will bring important all-round health, environmental,

Road Danger Reduction Forum
|
Those behind the RDRF were professionals working in local
government as Road Safety Officers, highway and traffic engineers, officers
working to promote sustainable transport, with support from Councillors in a
number of local authorities. The thrust behind
setting out the Road Danger Reduction (RDR) agenda was – and continues to be
– dissatisfaction with various elements of the official “road safety”
establishment, arguing that this is often very much part of the problem of
danger on the road. |
