The Road Safety Team based in the Civic Centre and locations across the City, provide publicity, training and education for people who live and work in Newcastle.
The team have a flexible approach to delivering road safety information and training.
Programmes and initiatives are designed to promote good road safety practice and are aimed at reducing road traffic accidents. We have close partnerships with schools, fire service, police and other road safety organisations.
A variety of events and activities run throughout the year. Early Years Road Safety Training, WalkSmart! and Walking Initiatives, CycleSmart and Bikeability, SafetyWorks! and School Travel Plans highlight the importance of road safety for children and adults.
Further support is provided by the City's School Crossing Patrol Officers who assist at busy roads near schools.
Additional information is available on topics such as speed and traffic calming, parking on pavements, driving advice, pedestrian distractions, crossing facilities , cycle safety and childrens car seats.
