Safer Roads Humber

Welcome to the Safer Roads Humber website. This website has been created by a range of organisations in the Humber region to provide information to our local communities on using the regions road safely. It is a joint website so that we use our resources in the most effective way but there are pages specific for your area or interest.

 

Our over all aim is to make the regions roads safer. We are doing this in a number of different ways from engineering out problem areas for all road users, to raising awareness about road safety issues, to delivering education initiatives to a range of road users, to enforcing the law.  We hope that by working together ultimately the number of casualties and crashes across the region will reduce. 

 

We will continue to develop this website over the coming year, but we welcome your comments on the website.

Switch off before you drive off

Safer Roads Humber is urging all drivers to switch off their phones before they drive off and concentrate on the road ahead.

Mick Harris project manager for Safer Roads Humber said: “It’s important that drivers are not distracted whilst they are driving.

 

“Today’s mobile phones are more that just a way to speak to someone, they have a range of features whether it’s texting, taking photos or checking the status of our friends on the net.

 

“This wide range of applications can enhance our daily lives but these must not be used when the person is driving.”
