New measures to reduce serious Birmingham road accidents
(www.bbc.com)
Get rid of the cars. Problem solved.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Road safety campaigns, lower speed limits, greater police enforcement and easier ways of reporting anti-social driving are among them.
Hundreds of people have staged protests in the city this year following a spate of road deaths and serious injuries.
In June, Adam Tranter, the cycling and walking commissioner, said action was urgently needed and the number of serious road accidents must not be accepted as "normal".
They agreed the police would focus on "relentless enforcement of the rules of the road" and "target the most dangerous of drivers".
The police force said it would also make it easier for people to report bad driving through dash cam and helmet camera footage.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
