Content and Structure

In line with the Road Safety Decade of Action, the “Management Practices for Safer Roads Toolkit” overall objective is to serve as a guiding document of concrete measures that improve road safety by providing a methodology that:

Identifies the number and location of deaths and injuries by road user type, and the key infrastructure factors that influence risk.
Pinpoints hazardous road locations or sections where excessive numbers or severity of crashes occur and take corrective measures accordingly
It is based on the premise that achieving road safety targets requires, among others, improving existing road infrastructure for the benefit of all road users, especially the most vulnerable.
