"Traffic Safety Culture" Gets a Roadmap
As states and localities adopt a vision of zero traffic fatalities, greater attention is being given to communication, collaboration, leveraging resources, and applying a systemic approach to traffic safety. This requires a change in culture by road users and traffic-safety agencies that is tied to education, engineering, enforcement, and emergency services.
Traffic Safety Culture Research Roadmap (NCHRP Research Report 1091), released this week by TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, presents ways to promote traffic safety culture among state departments of transportation and other transportation safety agencies.
Traffic Safety Culture: Conduct of Research Report (NCHRP Web-Only Document 382) was also just released and serves as a companion to the roadmap.
