Play your part in road safety future

The Road Safety Authority is today reminding the public to submit their views on how to improve safety on the roads before the deadline this Friday 27 June. The views of the public and other road safety stakeholders are currently being reviewed and considered for inclusion in the next Road Safety Strategy.

The new strategy, due to be published in December, will cover the period 2013 to 2020 and will replace the current strategy which expires at the end of this year. Anyone wishing to see details of the consultation process, plus an online facility for making submissions, log on to www.rsa.ie

The RSA say since the start of the public consultation process they have been 'inundated with submissions' from members of the public on how to improve safety on our roads.

Anyone wishing to make suggestions by post should ensure their submission takes up no more than two full A4 pages per area (i.e. Education, Engineering, Enforcement and Evaluation) and can be posted directly to: Road Safety Strategy 2013-2020, Road Safety Authority, Moy Valley, Primrose Hill, Ballina, Co Mayo. They can also be emailed to strategy@rsa.ie, submitted oline at www.rsa.ie, or via the RSA's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/RSAIreland
