Jersey has about 750 kilometres of roads, many of which are narrow and intersected by junctions. These conditions demand care and attention - but carelessness is one of the biggest causes of road traffic collisions in the Island.
The States of Jersey Police play an important role in maintaining a safe driving environment by:
- working with the honorary police to monitor and enforce compliance with the Island’s road traffic legislation
- supporting roadside checks on the roadworthiness of vehicles and making sure that drivers are properly qualified and insured
- providing road traffic engineers with details of the road traffic collisions we record to help improve road and junction layouts and facilities
- working with partners such as the Road Safety Panel and Prison Me No Way to deliver road safety education programmes
During 2011, we'll be carrying out a series of road safety initiatives, focusing on issues like speed, drink-driving, mobile phones and seatbelts.
