NEEDS FOR LOW- AND MIDDLE-INCOME COUNTRIES
Low and middle-income countries
need to address issues such as
inadequate road design; unsafe
infrastructure and urban expansion.
IMPACTS OF POOR ROAD SAFETY ON CHILDREN
Many children in LMICs:
• Walk to school on roads that are in poor
condition and dangerous;
• Walk longer distances than their counterparts
in wealthier countries;
• Are more likely to be unaccompanied by
adults
Many schools are located along major
highways with high speeds
SAFE SYSTEM: MOST RAPID REDUCTIONS TO LOWEST FATALITY RATES
An overemphasis on victim behavior has long relieved
pressure on governments to take responsibility and act to
protect their citizens.
This mindset needs to change, in terms of both public
expectation and political and professional perceptions of
responsibility.

ACTION AREAS FOR SAFE SYSTEM
• Land Use Planning
• Street Design and Engineering
• Improved Mobility Options
• Speed Management
• Enforcement, Laws and Regulation
• Education and Capacity Building
• Vehicle Design and Technology
• Post Crash Emergency Response And Care
SPEED MANAGEMENT
Higher speeds reduce drivers’ capacity to
stop in time, require longer stopping time,
make it harder to negotiate curves, and
causes others to misjudge the timing of
approaching vehicles

SPEED MANAGEMENT
Street design measures improve road safety:
• Roundabouts (70–90% injury reduction)
• Chicanes/ curvatures (54% injury reduction)
• Speed humps (41% injury reduction)
SAFE SYSTEMS IN THE WORLD
• Important commercial area
• 24km away from the city center
• Low income population
• Pedestrian crashes/km2 10x
higher than in the city of São
Paulo
• 3 schools and 1 hospital in the
area
• Many sidewalks < 1m wide
