1. Measurements to prevent road traffic accidents
There is no standard package of interventions
suitable for all contexts and countries.
Interventions proven in one setting may not easily
be transferable elsewhere, and will require careful
adaptation and evaluation. Where effective
interventions are altogether lacking, scientific
research is needed to develop and test new
measures. Whether in high-income, or low-income
and middle-income countries, there are several
good practices that can be followed (2):
• reducing exposure to risk through transport and
land-use policies;
• shaping the road network for road injury
prevention;
• improving visibility of road users;
• promoting crash-protective vehicle design;
• setting and securing compliance with road
safety rules;
• delivering post-crash care.
reducing the volume of motor vehicle traffic by
means of better land use;
• providing efficient networks where the shortest
or quickest routes coincide with the safest
routes;
• encouraging people to switch from higher-risk to lower-risk modes of transport;
• placing restrictions on motor vehicle users, on
vehicles, or on the road infrastructure;
• promoting safety-centred planning, design and
operation of the road network.
2. Steps to reduce the number of accident involving young drivers:
a) Emphasize the importance of seat belts. The majority of fatalities among teen drivers and passengers in Pittsburgh occur when seat belts are not worn. Not only are seat belts proven to reduce injuries and fatalities, they are required by law.
b)Educate teens about drunk driving. While no parent wants to think their teenager is drinking, the reality is that too many teens do have access to alcohol before the legal drinking age. Talk about the risks and what to do if they end up in a drunk driving situation.
c) Don’t skip driver’s education classes. Professionally taught driver’s education is proven to reduce teen driving risks by about 40 percent.
