ROAD SAFETY IN SOUTH YORKSHIRE The South Yorkshire Safer Roads Partnership Approach Frances Adams, SY Local Transport Plan Director Ken Wheat, SY Safer Roads Partnership Manager
In Terms of Casualty Reduction • Relatively poor performance compared to others in UK in early 2000s led to visit by DfT and SY Road Safety Improvement Plan; • In UK duty to investigate road traffic collisions and take action rests with the local highway authorities but little evidence of sub-regional partnership working; • Countywide approach and liaison with others with a role to play needed to be improved; • SY Casualty Reduction Partnership began in 2006.
Casualty Reduction Partnership Refresh • South Yorkshire Police as Chair in 2006 • Partnership approach in place but how effective and evidence led? • Structure, Meetings, Ownership, Roles – unclear • ETP activity by different Partners uncoordinated • Casualty reduction targets on track to meet LTP2 targets but not National Targets based on 1994/1998 average • How do we improve to maintain progress?
Safer Roads Partnership Process • Reinforced – Partnership approach, visibility and commitment • Restructured – Strategic; Operational; Tactical Levels • Gold = SRP – aligned SRP to Crime and Disorder Structures • Silver = Tactical Group – aligned to Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership • Bronze = Delivery of Tactic – Safety Camera Partnership

Safer Roads Partnership - Product • Incomplete Analytical Profile • Gold = SRP Strategy not fully informed • Silver = Tactical Group – Resource targeting not fully informed causing:- • - Over focus on location and victim • - Imbalanced approach to Education, Engineering and Enforcement • - Not best use of resources? • - Incomplete predictive capability
Assess Proven Crime Reduction Processes & Products • Problem Solving Triangle • Core elements for KSIs • Data collection • Data Analysis • Causation Factors • Predictive Capability • Better targeted resourcing • Leading to Safer Roads
OVER Focus - Victim • Age profile • Medical profile • Family profile • Lifestyle profile • = • Missed opportunities • Incorrect intervention • Reduced outcome? Victim
OVER Focus – Location • ‘Its not the trees fault ! ‘ • Incomplete data ..... ‘the 800’ • Missed opportunities • = Incorrect intervention • Reduced outcome? Location
OVER Focus – Time • Time (Temporal analysis) • = • Missed opportunities • Incorrect intervention • Reduced outcome? Time
UNDER Focus – RTC Perpetrators • Behavioural profiling • Driver profiling • Offender Profiling • Criminal Profiling RTC Perpetrator(s) • = • Missed opportunities • Incorrect intervention • Reduced outcome?
Bringing it All Together • Balancing the three E’s • Developed risk matrix for assessment • Joint Strategic Assessment • Control Strategy • Results analysis • Further CDRP alignment Victim Time RTC Perpetrator(s) Location
