Dorset Road Safe
We work as Dorset Road Safe in partnership with Dorset Police, Dorset County Council Road Safety Team, Bournemouth Borough Council Road Safety Team, Borough of Poole Road Safety Team, Highways Agency, Dorset Road Safety Camera Partnership, South Western Ambulance Service and HM Court Service.
Dorset RoadSafe was established in July 2009 to supersede the Road Safety Tasking & Co-ordinating Group to focus chiefly upon the education of road users as the principle strategy to reduce those killed and seriously injured on the roads of Dorset. The objectives for the group are improved co-ordination, sharing of resources, common tactics and targeted intervention using fully researched intelligence and analytical products.
