Re-invigorating and refining safe system advocacy
Safe System principles and Vision Zero for road safety are delivering successes in many countries. However, interpretations of the approach limit advocacy for road safety in two ways: The push for road safety investment and action based on a moral imperative for zero road crash deaths is uncompelling for many critical audiences; The approach is dismissed in many low and middle income countries (and even high income jurisdictions) because the prevention of all road crash deaths is seen as prohibitively expensive and unrealistic. Recommendations are made to address these limitations, in order to re-invigorate the adoption of Safe System principles.
