Did you know?
60 people were killed on Essex roads in 2025
37% of deaths and serious injuries involved excess speed
Every 1mph reduction in speed on urban roads can cut casualties by 6%
You are up to seven times more likely to survive being hit at 20mph than at 30mph
Speed does not just affect drivers. It affects pedestrians, cyclists, people using mobility aids and children walking to school.
That is why we are consulting on a new Essex Safer Speeds Strategy, designed to reduce risk, protect vulnerable road users and support Vision Zero.
