“The National Highways Driving for Better Business programme works across the public and private sectors to reduce work related road risk. This innovative and successful programme contributes to our vision that no-one will be harmed when working or travelling on the strategic road network.

Good quality engagement with our customers and key stakeholders is an essential part of improving safety on our roads and the programme highlights the key benefits of good management and leadership to reduce road risk. As we expand the programme further it will continue to encourage improved behaviour and standards on the road, and an increased understanding of the shared safety responsibility between those who build and maintain the roads, and those whose use them.”
