Road Safety
Our Road Safety Team works to identify the most dangerous areas on our roads and take action to make them safer. We study where crashes happen most often and then put measures in place to reduce accidents and save lives.
Every year, we review these crash sites and create plans to improve them. Smaller safety projects are funded by our team, while bigger ones are passed on to our Capital Programme for larger improvements. We follow national rules and proven best practices to ensure consistency and safety across the road network.
Our Responsibilities Include:
- Setting speed limits
- Identifying and investigating crash sites
- Managing road closures, restrictions, and parking (in non-CPE areas)
- Installing road signs and markings
- Conducting road safety audits
- Working with local parish councils to address safety concerns
- Providing driver training (including minibus training)
- Managing School Crossing Patrols
- Offering driver education courses (in partnership with Sussex Police)
- Providing cycle training
- Educating the community about road safety (with the Sussex Safer Roads Partnership)
