The number of deaths on Britain's roads has dropped below 2,000, research shows, suggesting that safety signage may be proving more effective.
Figures from the Department of Transport have revealed that 1,857 people were killed in road accidents during 2010, marking a reduction of 365 from the previous year's statistic. In addition, the number of road injuries dropped by eight per cent.
Kevin Clinton, RoSPA's head of road safety, said: "That road accident deaths have fallen below 2,000 for the first time since records began in the 1920s is a significant achievement, and particularly considering that much of the reduction has happened in very recent history."
Mr Clinton also explained that the improvement proves the value of having a comprehensive road safety strategy.
Confused.com has also done its part to boost safety on the roads by designing a new pothole safety sign.
This sign is the first of its kind in the UK and the website is urging the Department of Transport to install it on roads across the country.
