National Highways launches SRN consultation

National Highways is seeking views from road safety professionals on its newly-published strategic plan, which sets out the long-term vision for the strategic road network (SRN).

“Connecting the Country” identifies the potential challenges and opportunities that lie ahead between now and 2050.

The strategy looks at the trends, ambitions and delivery planning for nine focus areas: growth and levelling up, car travel, freight and logistics, safety, digital, decarbonisation, customer experience, sustainable network development and asset resilience.

National Highways says its ambition is for its roads to be the safest in the world – where no one will be harmed when using or working on the SRN. The organisation is encouraging road safety professionals to provide feedback on the strategy. Feedback will help shape the final version of the document, to be published by 2025.
