Vision Zero road safety event
Vision Zero is a campaign committed to making your journey safe and sustainable, emphasising sustainable commuting for cyclists, scooter users and pedestrians.
This year, the University is collaborating with Oxfordshire County Council to organise the Vision Zero road safety event. It’s taking place in Broad Street on Monday 4 November from 10:00 – 16:00 with Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue’s “Be Bright Be Seen” campaign continuing until 19:00.
There’ll be information and guidance on safe cycling in the city, and many free items including light reflectors, puncture repair kits and seat covers. Thames Valley Police will register your bike to help prevent theft and offer free D-locks to those who register and promote the Be Bright Be Seen campaign.
You can trade places with a lorry driver and climb aboard an HGV to see the blind spots firsthand.
A mobile mechanic will be in attendance to carry out bicycle safety checks and minor repairs and is available for University staff and students on a first come first served basis (make sure to bring your University card).
