Transport Committee to take evidence on cycle safety

• Transport Committee

In recent evidence sessions the Transport Committee has examined a number of topics within the field of road safety as part of its inquiry into the Government’s Strategic Framework for Road Safety. Reducing the relatively high casualty numbers for cyclists is a specific part of the Government’s vision for road safety. Last year the number of road fatalities fell overall, but increased for pedal cyclists by seven per cent.

The Committee will take oral evidence on cycle safety after Easter. Further details will be announced shortly.
