Home - National Road Safety
When we get into a car, we all want to arrive safely – whether it’s to work, school, or home to our families. The National Road Safety Campaign is about choosing smart over reckless in those every day moments:
- Slowing down, instead of speeding through
- Focusing on the road, not your phone
- Designating a driver, not risking drink-driving
- Pausing for pedestrians, not cutting them off
Let’s shift the mindset. Let’s choose smart.
National Road Safety Strategy (2023-2038)
The National Road Safety Strategy (2023–2038) is the Cayman Islands Government’s long-term commitment to eliminate road fatalities by 2038.
Led by the Ministry of Planning, Lands, Agriculture, Housing and Infrastructure, the strategy targets four key areas:
- Education – Public awareness campaigns, school outreach, community events
- Enforcement – Targeted patrols, DUI operations, speed checkpoints
- Engineering – Safer intersections, speed-reducing infrastructure, better signage
- Emergency Response – Faster incident reporting, data-driven resource planning
In Year 1, we:
- Installed speed-calming measures in high-risk zones
- Upgraded school zone signage and road markings
- Increased police visibility through 12 targeted enforcement campaigns
- Ran public education campaigns on texting, speeding, and seat belt use
But the work continues. Reckless driving still claims lives. That’s why in Year 2, we’re focused on Smart Vs Reckless.
