Added Extras Road Safety Knowledge Centre The Road Safety Knowledge Centre was launched in 2010, with funding provided by the Department for Transport. Owned and managed by Road Safety GB, the Knowledge Centre is an online library of road safety related information and expertise, derived primarily from UK-based road safety organisations. Access to the Knowledge Centre is available free of charge to anyone. The Knowledge Centre comprises road safety reports, research and interventions categorised by road safety topic/road user (speed, young drivers etc) and a range of other criteria including education, publicity, engineering, enforcement etc. http://www.roadsafetyknowledgecentre.org.uk Information is added on a weekly basis and the ‘library’ currently comprises more than 3,600 ‘listings’. The Knowledge Centre also contains a ‘Help Forum’, which is used by road safety professionals to seek advice and support from colleagues. The Knowledge Centre has more than 4,500 subscribers who receive the free weekly email alert giving details of what’s been added in the past week, and recent Help Forum requests. Use of the Knowledge Centre continues to increase steadily year-on-year. In the period May - July 2018 the average monthly traffic was 6,390 visits (up 25% YOY) and 5,223 visitors (up 31% YOY).
