Over 2,000 casualties have occurred on Wirral roads in the last five years sparking a new safety campaign.
Wirral Council has confirmed that around 90% of these casualties have occured on roads with a speed limit of below 40mph and 40% of those injuries occurred when the light conditions were poor. In a bid to take action, the new safety campaign will urge all road users, however they choose to get from A to B, to make themselves as visible as possible and look out for each other.
Whether you are behind the wheel of a car, riding a bicycle or motorcycle or walking down the street, being easy to spot or actively looking for other road users is one of the best ways to avoid being involved in a collision. This is particularly true in poor conditions.
