In several countries there is a concern that road safety progress has stalled. The absolute number of deaths has been (more or less) static for several years while death rates have been declining only marginally. At the same time many countries have been developing new, national, road safety strategies with which to enter the 21st Century. This paper explores the options for a way forward by examining a sample of such strategies. The strategies considered were those of Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Sweden. (1 –4) The critique which follows is of the collective, not of any particular national strategy. Without exception, the strategies, while they purport to plan for the decade, address only today’s problems. Secondly, with rare exceptions, the strategies are not truly strategic. |
