- Response to Road Safety Compliance Consultation
- CPRE believes that plans to increase compliance with road safety laws need to be rural proofed. Driver retraining needs to include giving more consideration to vulnerable road users, such as on country lanes, while graduated fixed penalties for speeding will have limited impact in rural areas unless the default 60mph limit is reduced.

- New Response to the refresh of the Setting Local Speed Limits Circular
- The Campaign to Protect Rural England believes the changes to the use of 20mph in urban areas as a significant step in the right direction but remains concerned that no change is proposed for rural speed limits, particularly on country lanes. We welcome the recognition of the wider impact of speed limits but believe that updated guidance should to follow the new circular to prevent confusion and encourage lighter touch traffic calming.
