Working hard to save lives on devon & Cornwall's roads
What is Vision Zero South West?
Vision Zero South West is a partnership involving many organisations in Devon and Cornwall who share one goal – to eliminate death and serious injury from our roads.
Led by a diverse board of experts — including senior police and fire officers, leading clinicians, councillors, and the Police and Crime Commissioner — the board meets quarterly to discuss strategies and projects aimed at reducing serious collisions.
Who Is Most At Risk?
The UK has some of the world’s safest roads, but we believe any death or serious injury is one too many. Through research and analysis, Vision Zero South West has identified the road users who are most at-risk.

Under-inflated tyres can be a real difference maker in how your vehicle handles on the road, especially in wet weather. If the tyre pressure is too low it can also affect your miles per gallon too, so by making sure you check your tyres, you can save money and be safe on the roads! It's a win-win! 😎👍🚛🚗 #tyresafetymonth
Some messages are best delivered by the people who have lived them.
In this new film, Crystal Owen and Nicola Bell-Percy reflect on the tragic deaths of their teenage sons, Harvey and Aaron, who were killed in separate road crashes.
Both collisions involved inexperienced young drivers carrying passengers on rural roads.
By speaking openly about what happened, they hope to encourage conversations about young driver safety and help prevent other families from experiencing the same loss.
One in five drivers crashes within the first year of passing their test, while male drivers aged 17-24 are four times more likely to be killed or seriously injured than drivers aged 25 or over.
