Keele University Road Safety Study

ongoing

Criminology experts from Keele University are studying the impact of the coronavirus lockdown on Britain’s road network, in a bid to make the roads safer during and after the lockdown. As the country remains in lockdown to help limit the spread of coronavirus, traffic levels have dropped by around 70% while people work at home and avoid unnecessary journeys. But despite this reduction in traffic levels, evidence suggests that drivers who are still on the roads are speeding more.
