Road safety and enforcement will be key topics at the annual 4753 TISPOL European Traffic Police Network conference taking place in Scottish capital Edinburgh. The event will be held at the MacDonald Roxburghe Hotel, on Tuesday 2nd-3rd October 2012. The theme for the conference is ‘Europe’s priority ... protecting vulnerable road users’. The speaker line-up includes top-level road safety representatives of Government, Police and Academia from Europe and Australia. Delegate pre-registrations have been higher than at this point in previous years and if all exhibitors who have pre-registered proceed to booking, the organisers say that they will have to create a waiting list for exhibitor space. TISPOL is committed to promoting the importance of working together to cut the number of deaths and serious injuries on Europe’s roads.
