County Wicklow Road Safety Working Together Committee
Reducing the number of collisions on the road involves many different partners and stakeholders working together. In the previous Road Safety Strategy, the Road Safety Authority recognised that the ambitious road safety targets would only be met through the cooperation of all agencies involved in road safety and the shared responsibilities by all road users. The Road Safety Working Together Committee includes representatives from Wicklow County Council, the Road Safety Authority, the Gardaí, and Transport Infrastructure Ireland.
The main objectives of the Road Safety Working Together Committee are:
- To oversee the implementation of the Road Safety Plan.
- To discuss road safety priorities and communicate good practice.
- To enhance the knowledge of all those on the Working Committee.
County Wicklow Road Safety Plan 2023 – 2030
County Wicklow Road Safety Working Together Committee is committed to achieving the actions set out in this road Safety Plan 2023 – 2030 to reduce the numbers of casualties and serious injuries on County Wicklow Roads and to provide focus on making Wicklow a safer county for all road users.
Safe mobility is central to the quality of life of all who live and work in County Wicklow. This Plan sets out our vision for road safety and the policies and actions the Council pursue to achieve this goal. The Road Safety Plan 2023 to 2030 will be delivered with an increased focus on the provision of better infrastructure, improved road user behaviour, and better enforcement.
Residents of County Wicklow should be able to go about their daily lives without being placed under undue risk of injury from traffic. A ‘safe systems’ approach to road safety is based on the principle that life and health should not be compromised to meet the demands of mobility. County Wicklow should be a County where it is safe for everyone to walk and cycle and travel to their destination safely.
