Road Safety Week runs from 15 to 21 November 2026<\/a>. It’s Brake’s biggest annual road safety campaign, and this year’s theme is “Safe people on the move<\/strong>“. Thousands of schools, employers, emergency services and communities take part every year, and your business can join them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quartix is proud to be an Associated Partner of Brake, the road safety charity. We’d love to see more businesses get involved, so this guide shares practical ideas for every team size, from a short toolbox talk to a team fundraiser. You’ll also find five habits that help you keep the Road Safety Week focus going all year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Road Safety Week?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Road Safety Week is a national campaign run by Brake. It raises awareness of road death and injury, and it calls for measures that make roads safer. This year’s week starts on Sunday 15 November, the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The theme reminds us that we all share the road, whether we walk, wheel, ride or drive. It also highlights the Highway Code’s hierarchy of road users: the people driving vehicles that can do the most harm carry the greatest responsibility for protecting more vulnerable road users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brake is also inviting everyone to find out how modern technology can help us drive more safely. That’s a topic close to our hearts at Quartix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Road Safety Week matters to fleets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Brake reports that five people die on UK roads every day. One in four people killed is walking or cycling, and one in nine casualties is a child under 16. Behind each figure is a family whose life changed in an instant. Fleets play a big part in changing those numbers. In 2025, around 445 people died in crashes involving someone driving for work, nearly a third of all road deaths. A van sits high in the hierarchy of road users, so every fleet has the chance to protect the people around it. Speed is part of that picture. Our 2026 data shows where UK speed limits are broken most often. On one stretch of the M77 in Scotland, 52% of traffic exceeded the 70mph limit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our new research adds a second view of speed. It analyses more than 1.8 million segments of rural 60mph roads and asks what speed is actually safe on them. Find out what our research shows about rural 60mph roads. Read the guide to safe speeds on rural roads<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
