The Road Safety Foundation organisation, working with the Department for Transport, has identified a section of the A586 in Blackpool as having lower road safety characteristics than the national average. Following this, Blackpool Council has received funding from the Government’s Road Safety Partnership scheme to implement safety improvements to benefit both road users and pedestrians using this area.

The proposed measures are intended to reduce road traffic collisions, enhance pedestrian and cyclist safety and improve the overall traffic flow in the area.
