Road policing strategy

Extras

Cambridgeshire County Council's Road Safety Group works in partnership with Cambridgeshire Constabulary.

The strategic aim of Cambridgeshire Constabulary's Road Policing Strategy is that "all police officers should seek to secure an environment where the individual can use the county's roads with confidence, free from death, injury, damage or fear, thereby creating a safer Cambridgeshire

The Road Policing Unit will take the lead in implementing this strategy harnessing and directing efforts within the Police to promote safer driving and responsible vehicle ownership with the aim of casualty reduction.

The Constabulary's Road Policing objectives are:-

 - Improved road user behaviour
 - Safer roads
 - Safer vehicles

Police efforts are concentrated on those offences identified as the major causes of collisions involving road accident casualties, or, which are the subject of justifiable community concerns supported by objective data. These offences, referred to as "Core Offences" are:-

 - Driving whilst impaired through drink or drugs
 - Excessive/inappropriate speed
 - Dangerous and careless driving
 - Failing to conform to traffic signs
 - Failing to wear seat belts

Police Officers work in partnership with Council Officers to target high-risk groups with education and encouragement and to seek engineering solutions at identified sites.
