Good to see Met Police out enforcing safer speeds in Newham this morning.
Speed is a factor in over 50% of fatal collisions in London.
We’ve set up a new a Road Danger Reduction police team to make London’s roads safer for all.

You are five times more likely to survive being hit by a driver doing 20mph vs a driver doing 30mph.
Great to see Enfield rolling out new life saving 20mph zones.
Slow down. Slower speeds save lives. #VisionZeroLDN.
👏👏 Enfield Council
Speeding contributes to half the fatal collisions on London's roads.
TfL & Met Police are trialling new radar-based speed cameras on 20mph & 30mph roads in 9 boroughs across London.
Slow down. Save Lives. #VisionZeroLDN

Cold Blow Lane now open for safe school runs - for good! Great to speak to community campaigners who made this latest street in London safer. They've got their sights set on more improvements, like a crossing on Sanford

There's growing evidence of safety risks of bigger cars.
Heavier with higher bonnets & worse vision, bigger SUVs are:
⚠️14% more likely to kill you than if you're hit by a smaller car
⚠️increasing to 77% for children
⚠️and 200% more likely to kill a kid under 9

Delighted to show Lilian Greenwood & DfT how we're transforming Lambeth Bridge - formally one of the most dangerous junctions in London for cyclists.
The TfL team is delivering a safer road layout, crossings, bike lanes, signals, bridge protection, SUDs & more 🚲🚶♀️🚲🚶♀️💚
#VisionZeroLDN
Every death & serious injury on the roads brings devastating pain & trauma to victims, family, friends, communities & colleagues.
Our powerful new road safety campaign is shaped by real stories of loss - massive thanks to RoadPeace for working with us.

Data published this year shows 20mph on London borough road resulted in:
📉40% drop in fatal collisions
📉75% fall in kids being killed
📉34% fall in people being killed or seriously injured.
Great to see Enfield making their streets safer with 20mph 👍👍

We've completed work at 45 of the most dangerous junctions in London - with much more to come.
Construction is underway at Lambeth & Battersea Bridge Junctions, we've funded Camden to improve Holborn & have launched a new £50m fund for borough road safety.

Police data shows fatal collisions in London have fallen FOUR TIMES more than the rest of the UK.
We’re continuing to invest in making streets safer with more:
🚲Bike lanes
🚦New crossings & safer junctions
🚗Lower speed limits
🚸School streets

New pavement being built
Digger removing roundabout
London’s Safer Junctions Programme uses collision data to prioritise safety upgrades.
Lambeth Bridge Junctions were among the most dangerous in the capital. Our current works will transform the area.
Great to see progress: new footways & the roundabout being removed.
