Abstract |
In Britain and elsewhere road safety professionals are increasingly considering approaches to improving safety based on reducing danger at source and promoting equity and accessibility for non-motorised road users. Road safety work has often traditionally been seen to focus overwhelmingly on casualty reduction through the use of engineering, education and enforcement and through various secondary safety measures such as seat belts. Much of the emphasis has been upon getting the vulnerable road users to bear the burden of responsibility for their own safety and through the promotion of secondary safety measures, largely focused on improving safety within vehicles. The aim of this paper is to consider these two approaches and to identify ways in which they might conflict and to what extent they are complementary to each other. |
