Towards a holistic framework for road safety

This research project sought to address the way in which road safety is perceived by the wider community and policymakers, and how it can be reframed using a holistic approach. Given the almost universally acknowledged importance of speed as a major contributing factor in the number and severity of traffic crashes a sub-theme is raised by the question: How can a holistic approach be applied in a way that reconnects road safety to communities that value social connectedness, quality of life and slower ways of being? A central assumption is that fundamental redesign of cultural arrangements is necessary in order to challenge the "culture of speed".
