Vision Zero
Safey System Approach"The safe system approach to road safety is a holistic view which provides a framework to assess, guide and improve travel safety. At the core of this is the need for responsibility for reducing risk to be shared by road users and those [stakeholders] who design, maintain and operate all parts of the road transport system." RoadWise Program
Traffic Safety Culture"Traffic safety culture encompasses the shared values, assumptions, and beliefs that influence road user behaviors and stakeholder actions." FHWA Compass
