Ono, Yuji; Silcock, David; Gerilla-Teknomo, Gloria | June 2013
Abstract
The World Health Organization estimates that each year around 1.2 million deaths and between 20 and 50 million injuries occur on the world’s roads. These road traffic collisions are a serious constraint to development and a burden to many low and middle income countries. Acknowledging the global importance of road safety as a development issue, this staff working paper considers approaches and good practices for road safety which have been adopted in the best performing countries during recent decades, drawing in part on the findings of a technical assistance project on Improving Road Safety through the Application of Intelligent Transport Systems in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), it suggests how these can be useful for reducing road traffic deaths and injuries in the PRC
