The future for road safety policy in the Capital will be discussed at the forthcoming Pan London Road Safety Conference on Thursday 23 September.

Hosted by Transport for London, the conference will address key issues affecting road safety policy like the influence of the new Traffic Management Act and the impact of speed humps.

This year's conference will update the industry on the latest thinking and good practice within Road Safety and give the chance to question and debate the latest policies and how they will affect the push to drive down the numbers of those hurt on our roads.

The speakers attending the conference include Tony McNulty MP, speaking on the Traffic Management Act; Jenny Jones, London Road Safety Ambassador; Peter Hendy, Managing Director of Surface Transport at TfL; Gary Austin, Chief Executive of DSA, talking on changes to driver training; Oliver Carsten, Director of Research and Professor of Transport Safety at Leeds University Institute for Transport Studies talking about intelligent speed adaptation and its role in road safety; and Lynne Featherstone, London Assembly Transport Committee taking forward the issue of speed humps.
