Traffic safety measures on Hanshin Expressway

This study reports the measures of the Hanshin Expressway to reduce traffic accidents. The Hanshin Expressway Company Limited (HECL), managing the Hanshin Expressway, has accomplished a reduction of more than 1,000 accidents per year, which was the targeted goal of the Traffic Safety Measures Action Program. The Program implemented measures to reduce traffic accident on the expressway over the course of three years beginning in 2007. The authors have analyzed the effectiveness of the measures implemented through this program. Based on the discussions regarding how to reduce accidents even further through the analysis of causal factors of traffic accidents, the HECL is continuing the effort by instituting the Second Traffic Safety Measures Action Program.
