Cumbria Road Safety Partnership

Car lights on a road

Road safety information for the residents of Cumbria

Roads are essential to our everyday lives and economic prosperity, but many are killed or injured whilst using them both in Cumbria and nationally each year.

The Cumbria Road Safety Partnership counteracts this through a range of activities that include the use of enforcement, engineering, education, training and publicity. 

The Partnership consists of Cumberland Council, Westmorland and Furness Council, National Highways, Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service, Cumbria Police and other interested parties.

The Partnership has adopted Vision Zero, in line with many similar Partnerships both within the UK and around the world, to show their determination and long term commitment to road casualty reduction.

Our Vision Zero aim is to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries on Cumbria's roads by 2040.
