The Driver Information Programmes (DIPs) are, primarily, targeted at the four driver groups who are, statistically, most at risk on our motorways and major A roads. However, as we learn of new issues, we develop new DIPs offering advice to drivers across these varied topics.
The Highways Agency manages one of the busiest high-speed road networks in the world. This brings increased risks to those who work on the network to ensure that it is kept safe and in good condition for millions of road users. Find out about the research the Highways Agency has implemented, as well as the strategies they have developed to help improve road worker safety.
