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.
