Fife is commited to creating strong, thriving communities where people can expect a quality of life that comes from living in a safe environment. One of Fife Council's Big 8 priorities is 'Improving community safety'.
Road Safety
National road safety practice in recent years has focused as much on education and awareness raising as it has on engineering and enforcement. Fife's current Safer Travel Strategy recognises that good improvements in road safety in Fife has made the challenge even greater to further reduce road casualties. This new strategy considers how we travel, and how we may need to travel in the future by alternative and more sustainable means, including walking, cycling and public transport.
Traffic Management
Traffic growth in the UK has been rising rapidly over the last twenty years, which has put an increasing strain on the the Kingdom's roads and town centres. Transportation Services carry out monitoring of the road network and promote alterations to improve safety and efficiency for all road users including creating a greater share of road space for pedestrians, cyclists and for public transport. This is achieved through a variety of measures such as engineering schemes, traffic regulation orders, traffic calming and the provision of crossing facilities.
