Mr. Michael Rowland:

The Deputy asked about our influence, especially in respect of active travel. We are very supportive of it. The road safety strategy is a safe system approach. One of the tenets of that strategy is safe and healthy modes of travel. We encourage that. We participate in other national committees, including the most recent committee on the reduction of speeds, and the recommendations in action No. 6 of the road safety strategy. We promote segregation of vulnerable road users. Where that segregation cannot happen, we promote the slowdown of traffic, the most recent being action No. 6. We also target other road users, in particular motorists, to slow down and we promote the slowdown message. We promote active travel at every opportunity because active travel means healthier, happier and, it is hoped, safer road users.
