Road rules cards: an easier way to understand the rules

Road rules are part of every action on our roads yet are often not considered in road safety practice, research, programs and campaigns. This gap can negatively impact road users with increased confusion and potentially greater crash risk, particularly when applying the road rules is not straightforward and/or the road environment is complex. Our aim was to make the road rules accessible and increase people’s confidence in professional and educational settings. Based on a deck of playing cards, structured by scenarios (e.g., turning left), cards have been developed for each road rule, including a simplified graphic of the road user interaction. A fold-out scenario card lists the key road rules that need to be considered. The road rules cards are part of the Mobility Kit that incorporates scale Lego® pieces (1:31) and is currently in the user-testing stage.
