To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, if he will include, as part of the Think public information campaign on road safety, messages which highlights the risks of harm to cyclists and motorbike riders when people open car doors without looking to see who is coming up behind them.
We are committed to improving safety for all vulnerable road users. We will continue to deliver safety advice to motorcyclists, cyclists, motorists and pedestrians through the THINK! and THINK BIKER social media channels, and work with partners to develop cycling/motorcycling campaign messages that raise awareness of specific dangers, including those mentioned.
The purpose of THINK! is to reduce the number of people killed and seriously injured on our roads. Campaign priorities are determined on this basis. They are thoroughly researched and evidenced using casualty data, road safety literature and audience insight.

Highways England continues to improve the clearance times of incidents on the strategic road network. The duration of closures is closely monitored, with the aim to clear 85% of live lane incidents on motorways within 60 minutes. All incidents that fail this target are analysed to see where lessons can be learned. For the 2016-17 period Highways England achieved 85.93% and have subsequently set a new internal target of 87% for the 2017/18, demonstrating their continued determination to reduce delays and improve journeys for road users.

Responsibility for local highways maintenance in London, including repairing potholes, is a devolved matter and therefore falls to Transport for London and the London Boroughs.
Under section 101 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999, the Department for Transport provides a grant to Transport for London (TfL), known as the GLA transport grant. In the current financial year, the grant amounted to some £1.4bn, with £944m of this in the form of a capital investment grant and £447m in the form of a general grant. TfL in turn provide some financial support to London boroughs for schemes to maintain their transport networks.
It is for TfL and ultimately the Mayor of London to decide how best to spend the grant, including how much should be spent on roads maintenance, and the Mayor is accountable to the London Assembly for this.
In addition to the GLA transport grant, the Department for Transport also provided a one-off payment of £10 million through a Pothole Fund in June 2014 to help fix potholes in London.
