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.

In winter, early nightfall, dark mornings, ice, wind, rain, fog and frost can all create driving hazards.
Driving can be difficult when the sun is low in the sky.
Keep the windscreen clean and clear, use your vehicle's visor and wear sunglasses to minimise the sun's glare.
Drive slower to compensate for difficult or shifting conditions.
