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.
Find detailed statistics and insights including collision data, high harm routes and safety camera figures.

Last year was our biggest ever Lift Legend campaign! With over 270 venues taking part across all of Devon and Cornwall, you couldn’t avoid the posters, stickers, beer mats and coverage on social media.
This year we want to go bigger, stronger and bolder with even more venues and locations helping to spread the word – Let’s smash through that 300 participating venues number!
Don’t miss out on this opportunity to help look after your patrons and keep them safe this festive season.
On top of the feel good factor of taking part, you’ll also get a selection of free merch to display. With our Lift Legend posters, flyers, shelf wobblers, vouchers and venue door stickers, you can be sure that no matter how merry the celebrations get, dedicated Lift Legends will make sure your patrons get home safely.
