Tipperary County Council, in conjunction with several other stakeholders has launched the second strategy for road safety in the county.

The Strategy covers the period to 2030 and includes a Phase 1 Action Plan to 2024.

The Strategy is based on the Government Road Safety Strategy which sets the ambitious target of reducing fatalities and serious injuries by 50% by 2030, and eliminating deaths and serious injuries on the roads by 2050.

The Tipperary Road Safety Strategy offers a strategic direction for road safety in Tipperary in terms of safe roads and roadsides, safe speeds, safe vehicles, safe road use, post-crash response, safe and healthy modes of travel and safe work-related use.

The Strategy encourages all members of the community to play an active part in reducing fatalities and injuries on Tipperary’s roads by taking responsibility for their own behaviour as road users.
