ENGINEERING APPROACHES TO ACCIDENT REDUCTION AND PREVENTION IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES

Although road accidents are usually the result of mistakes made by road users, it is clear that poor road design and planning will often have contributed to or compounded these errors. Many developing countries have outdated or inappropriate design standards and modern accident prevention and reduction methods have yet to be introduced in spite of their considerable potential. Therefore, to encourage more effective approaches, the TRRL has published a road safety guide for planners and engineers and begun a program of evaluating improvements. This paper outlines some of the key principles contained in the guide and includes an example of one of the Overseas Unit's joint evaluation studies being carried out in SE Asia. For the covering entry of this conference, see IRRD abstract 843192.
