Principles of Sustainable (Road) Safety

Observe and account for human behaviour
Insert a margin of error in the design
Design-out risk with view to increase cycling
Remove conflict situations (dont pitch driver vs cyclist)
Tool box: Crow manual good for getting inspired
Making designing for cycling safety a priority ahead of driving
