City of Edinburgh Council & Marston Holdings Limited
Driving Change: Measurable Road Safety and Network Benefits Through Blue Badge Enforcement and Pavement Parking
For 20 years, the City of Edinburgh Council and Marston Holdings have worked together to improve road safety and accessibility across the capital. Their intelligence-led enforcement programme tackles Blue Badge fraud and pavement parking, two issues that create significant risks for pedestrians, particularly disabled people, wheelchair users and families with pushchairs. Using targeted patrols, data analysis and real-time enforcement, the partnership removed almost 200 fraudulent Blue Badges from circulation and issued thousands of penalty notices. The result has been safer streets, improved access for genuine Blue Badge holders, reduced obstructions and greater public confidence in fair and consistent enforcement.

Glasgow City Council & Stantec
Glasgow Citywide 20mph Project
Glasgow’s citywide 20mph programme is one of the largest and most comprehensive speed management projects undertaken in Scotland. Working with Stantec and partners, the project assessed almost 6,000 streets across the city to identify where lower speed limits would deliver the greatest benefits. Advanced digital tools, detailed analysis and extensive public engagement helped create a transparent, evidence-led programme covering more than 1,000 kilometres of road. Interactive mapping and monitoring platforms have supported both decision-making and public understanding. While implementation is ongoing, the project has already established a robust framework for measuring future improvements in safety, active travel and community wellbeing across Scotland’s largest city.

Glasgow City Region Bus Partnership
Bus Lane Enforcement Behavioural Change Campaign: Don’t Be a Bus Blocker
The Glasgow City Region Bus Partnership’s “Don’t Be a Bus Blocker” campaign is tackling one of the most common causes of bus delays and accessibility issues – vehicles illegally blocking bus lanes and bus stops. Delivered across eight local authority areas, the campaign used radio, social media, bus advertising and roadside messaging to encourage drivers to think about the impact of inconsiderate parking. By highlighting the real-world consequences for bus passengers and vulnerable road users, the initiative successfully raised awareness of the issue while demonstrating the power of collaboration between councils, transport authorities and operators. The campaign has strengthened regional partnership working and public engagement.

HITRANS
Highland Council 20mph Programme
Covering the UK’s largest local authority area, Highland Council’s 20mph programme is one of Scotland’s most ambitious road safety initiatives. More than 600 kilometres of roads across 127 communities were converted from 30mph to 20mph, creating calmer and safer streets throughout the region. Extensive consultation generated thousands of responses, helping shape a programme tailored to local needs. Early results show meaningful reductions in vehicle speeds, particularly on roads where speeds had previously been highest. Supported by strong public engagement and a pragmatic implementation strategy, the project has delivered a significant cultural shift towards safer driving and was made permanent by councillors in 2025.

South Lanarkshire Council
Data Led Road Safety and Casualty Reduction Programme
South Lanarkshire Council has adopted a highly evidence-based approach to improving road safety, combining traditional collision analysis with cutting-edge data tools to identify risks before serious incidents occur. Using innovative technologies to analyse speed compliance and driving behaviour, the council can target interventions where they will have the greatest impact. This proactive approach is supported by education, engineering and enforcement measures delivered through the internationally recognised Safe System framework. The results speak for themselves, with casualty numbers falling significantly compared with previous years. The programme demonstrates how intelligent use of data can help create safer roads and deliver long-term reductions in collisions and injuries.

Streetscape Management
South Lanarkshire Council’s Streetscape Management programme focuses on making roads and streets safer through effective coordination, enforcement and operational excellence. Using the Scottish Road Works Register, the council carefully manages roadworks and traffic management activity to minimise disruption while maintaining high safety standards. Significant investment in training, auditing and compliance has strengthened safety culture across operational teams, resulting in a substantial reduction in workplace injuries. The council has also led the way in professionalising parking enforcement and introducing pavement parking controls. By combining strong governance, public engagement and rigorous safety management, the programme has delivered safer streets for both road users and those working on the network.

Transport Scotland & BEAR Scotland
A9 Perth to Inverness Casualty Reduction Project
The A9 Casualty Reduction Project represents one of the most comprehensive road safety interventions ever delivered on Scotland’s trunk road network. Following an increase in serious collisions, Transport Scotland and BEAR Scotland implemented a £5 million programme of targeted improvements along the route between Perth and Inverness. Measures included multilingual safety messaging, enhanced road markings, high-friction surfacing, solar-powered road studs and upgraded junction treatments. These interventions were specifically designed to address the causes of serious collisions and improve driver awareness. Early results have been highly encouraging, with significant reductions in collisions recorded and an exceptional return on investment for taxpayers through improved road safety outcomes.
