Road Safety Week 2026

Road Safety Week 2026

Dear residents,

Road Safety Week takes place from 15–21 November and this year's theme is "Safe People On the Move."

The campaign encourages everyone, whether walking, wheeling, riding or driving, to practise safe habits on every journey. It also highlights that those who can cause the most harm have the greatest responsibility to protect vulnerable road users.

As the darker evenings draw in, remember to:

✨ Wear bright or reflective clothing when out and about

👀 Stop, look, listen and think before crossing the road

📱 Avoid distractions such as mobile phones and headphones near traffic

🚲 Ensure bikes and scooters have working lights and reflectors and always wear a helmet

🤝 Stay with friends, family or a trusted adult when out

🚗 Drivers should slow down, stay alert and take extra care around pedestrians, cyclists, wheelchair users and children

🌟 Be Bright, Be Seen. Stay Safe. 🌟
