In July 2020, the Department for Transport (DFT) launched a call for evidence on the subject of roads policing. Roads policing review: call for evidence – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
This call for evidence seeks to identify what makes a difference in enforcement and how the capability and capacity of enforcement services can be enhanced. The DfT stated it is carrying out this call for evidence as they are seeking to identify how the use of existing enforcement capabilities, and any enhancement of these, will deliver the biggest impact for road user safety primarily but also congestion management and the environment.
They sought views on:
• the current situation in regards to road casualties and what can be done to reduce them
• driver compliance with road traffic law and enforcement
• the structure of traffic law enforcement in the future
The DfT stated “The intention is to deliver recommendations in the Spring of 2021.”
