The Road Safety ChallengeThe Road Safety Challenge
1) Rapid urbanization usually implies large inward migration of people from rural areas. Infrastructure rarely expands in line with population growth.
=> The result is a massive demand for inadequate massive demand for inadequate transport systems transport systems -- leading to congestion, pollution leading to congestion, pollution and low level of road safetyand low level of road safety.

2) There is great competition for spaceThere is great competition for space on the roads, on the formal carriageway with many kinds of vehicles, but also on footways (if they exist).
3) There is often a wide mix of vehicles, moving at a wide mix of vehicles, moving at a wide range of speedswide range of speeds, which are difficult to manage safely.

4) In this scenario, the Vulnerable Road UsersVulnerable Road Users are are especially at riskespecially at risk (pedestrians, cyclists, users of
small motorcycles).
5) The investment that is taking place on roads is directed mainly at facilities for motorized vehicles -

6) Political will to change this balance of investment Political will to change this balance of investment is often difficult to reach. is often difficult to reach.
7) Managing this complex situation demandsprofessional resources, often not available.professional resources, often not available.
Some thoughts on solutionsSome thoughts on solutions
1) Road design standards must allocate more space to Vulnerable Road UsersSeparate cycle and m/cycle lanes. Footpath are needed and must remain accessible to pedestrians.
2) The system must be managed as a whole, so that the

relevant agencies work together to provide a 'safe system'
3) There is a need for building professional capacity, as well as funding.Why not 'professional twinning' between cities? Use of global good practice to align efforts worldwide – seat belts, helmets, drink drive, speed, children…

4) Mass transport systems are essential >> balance in
investment. Use of global good practice to align effort
worldwide

5) Focus short term activities on the key risk factors
VRUs; vehicle speeds; helmets on heads; drinking and driving.
6) Private sector companies have a role to play
A systems approach to address road safety as a public
health issue
Target setting promotes accountability, monitoring, as
well as course-changes, and tends to boost outcomes

Safe Routes to School
SAKHALIN SAKHALIN
•GIBDD saw upward trend in child injuries in 2005
• Sakhalin Road Safety Partnership held Good
Practice workshop with international expertise
• Several partners joined project (Education,
GIBDD, Businesses, Parents, Teachers)

Oct 2008
• 2 pilot schools selected
• Materials produced (maps, posters, videos, school
curriculum material)
• Low cost infrastructure improvements made
around the schools with support from international
expertise, city council and businesses.
