Road Safety Information

Welcome to our "Road Safety" section on UK Traffic News.

The road safety section is about information helping to keep roads in the UK safer.

Our "road signs" section features some of the road signs on UK roads to help familiarise yourself with what road signs in the UK mean.

Understanding what road signs mean is part of the safety features for UK roads.

Road signs include important information about the road you are driving on and ignoring the warnings or guidance road signs give is dangerous.

There is also a section about "motor insurance". Motor insurance is an important part of protecting yourself when things do go wrong, and is also a legal requirement to drive on UK roads.

See our hints and tips for driving in bad weather conditions.

Road Safety Videos

We no longer host road safety videos on UK Traffic News. For official videos, the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), which publishes the official Highway Code books, has a YouTube channel with guidance on driving skills and staying safe on the road: DVSA on YouTube.

The Highway Code itself is free to read online on GOV.UK.
