Dear Minister,

Road Safety Review and

2023 Road Traffic Collision and Casualty Update

The Environment, Housing and Infrastructure Panel has noted the responses that you have provided in the States Assembly in relation to road safety and particularly the assurance that a Strategic Safety Unit (as pritoritised in the Sustainable Transport Policy Next Steps Delivery Plan[1]) has been established with the aim of publishing a collision and casualty reduction plan later this year enabling delivery of the safe system approach, identifying specific actions to help prevent collisions and reduce injury severity'.[2]

The Panel would be grateful if you could provide the following information.

  1. Please  could  you  outline  how  the  Safe  System  Approach  to  Road  Safety[3]  will  be embedded in the Future Steps outlined in the Road Traffic Collision and Casualty Update[4] and in projects which are already planned, such as those in St Saviour, Bagatelle, Castle Street, Route de la Libération, La Blinerie and the Western Gateway[5].
  2. What specific action will be taken to reduce fatalities on Jersey roads.
  3. How the Future Steps and forthcoming initiatives will be aligned with the delivery of the Sustainable Transport Policy Next Steps.
  4. What work will be done to promote shared responsibility and directly counter the negativity of different groups of road users, as often expressed on social media, and its potential to increase aggressive behaviour aimed at more vulnerable road users.
  5. When you intend to publish the Network Planning Guidelines referred to in the Sustainable Transport Policy Next Steps Delivery Plan.

The Panel would be grateful for your written response within five working days of receipt of this letter.

We look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely,

Deputy Hilary Jeune

Chair, Environment, Housing and Infrastructure Panel
