  36. What does this mean in Surrey? Page 40

  37. Conclusions • This is important • Road safety figures are always subject to some variances, but ... • ... these results seem to be too extreme to be a random spike. • We should not claim that we were responsible for all of this improvement. • It seems to be a mixture of causalities – weather, recession, driver behaviour, vehicles • More research is needed • We need a dialogue on how to capture some or all of this improvement • We need to inform drivers and vulnerable road users • Suggests that we can reduce road deaths still further ... if only we understand what is happening.
