This November we have launched a rural road safety campaign in conjunction with stakeholders and organisations across the region.
The aim is to remind rural road users - both the general public and the farming community - a series of messages to expect the unexpected and be winter wise. Sadly, we hear too frequently about accidents which could have been avoided; and loved ones not coming home.
Rural roads are part of everyday life in the countryside. But with narrow lanes, blind bends, changing road conditions and changing speed limits they can bring challenges for everyone who uses them. Stock on roads, dog walkers, mud on roads, floods, horse riders, ice - the hazards are endless.
And that's is why we have launched our Rural Roads Safety Campaign throughout November and December in York East.
We'll be sharing videos from different organisations and stakeholders including the police, FCN, our Farm Safety Adviser, farming members and others - all with the same aim: helping everyone get home safe - please share our videos and help spread the message - and be winter wise.
