South Australia and Western Australia showed relatively stable trends, while Tasmania and the Northern Territory had lower, but fluctuating, fatalities. The Australian Capital Territory consistently recorded the
"In contrast, we anticipate a much quicker drop in women driver fatalities, which could point to the more high-risk driving behaviors characterized by men." The findings also reveal disparities between states with Queensland, Northern Territory, South Australia and Western Australia being slower to ...
This study investigates parental concerns about the safety of children en route to school in the Western Cape, South Africa, through a survey conducted acr
The United States focused on two things: vehicle traffic and preventing vehicles from running off the roads or causing fatalities (Babic et al., 2020; Job and Wambulwa, 2020). Canada focused on improving road linearity, improving visual distance, improving traffic signs, setting traffic lights ...
In recent years, a high number of road fatalities has resulted in the formation of more stringent national standards as well as the regulatory framework for road marking reflectivity, which, in turn, has accelerated the demand for frequent restriping. The demand for traffic-keeping coatings is ...
fatalities prevented by a specific intervention. Other external factors such as traffic growth and changes in the vehicle fleet were also taken into consideration. A model developed by Vulcan and Corben (1998) was numerically implemented by Corben et al. (2009) in Western Australia and used the ...
In literature, this age-based pattern of crash risk is described as a U-shaped curve and has been shown to be most pronounced for young and elderly drivers when crash risk is measured for fatal crashes or motor vehicle fatalities per distance driven [[1], [2], [3], [4], [5]]. ...
Obviously, if these psychological, social, and economic costs of injuries and fatalities on the road are taken into account, then the common anti-paternalist argumentation against measures to improve traffic safety will lose almost all its bite. However, arguably the most important reason why anti...
Table 1 also indicates that the national road safety levels (road fatalities per million population) largely corresponds to the scopes of the road safety policies regulating road user freedom to take risk in the different countries. Previous research also indicates a relationship between the scope of...
2. Sweden should decrease the number of road traffic fatalities and serious injuries to 15% between 2015 and 2020. Given that adequate accident data are available, both goals could be said to be precise. However, goal 1 might in addition have the advantage of being slightly more 1 Vision ...
