As National Highways’ monitor, ORR holds the company to account for delivering the targets set out in the second road investment strategy (RIS2). This includes its key performance indicator target on safety to reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured (KSI) on the strategic road network (SRN) by 50% by the end of 2025, compared to the 2005-2009 average baseline.
National Highways has consistently met its target of 96.2% of road surfaces on motorways and major A-roads being in ‘good condition’ and not requiring further investigation for maintenance. However, performance varies across National Highways’ regions.
