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.

Depending on the road, weather conditions, obstacles like potholes, or even traffic levels, it may be safer for Cyclists to ride 2 or 3 abreast.
🚗 🚛 🤔
If you're driving a vehicle, think what it'd be like to be in a more vulnerable mode of transport. Approach Cyclists with care and when overtaking, give them plenty of space.
🚗 🚘 🚙 🚜
If you're Cycling, wherever possible, help out the drivers by using hand signals to communicate your intentions.
Think about other road users, and let's share the road together. Safely. ❤️ 🤝
These country roads are quiet today…. or are they?
It may feel like you've got the open, country roads to yourself and you can push that speed just a little higher. BUT, you never know whats around the corner, Deer busting through a hedge, a Tractor slowly pulling out of a field, or a Cyclist riding along the same narrow lane.
🏍 🚗 🤔
You may know that road like the back of your hand, but you can never know just what or who is sharing the road with you… Is pushing it really worth it? 👍 🐌
