| 摘要： | Many active road safety jurisdictions1 have set targets and strategies focussed to the year 2000. As the year 2000 rapidly approaches, lead agencies are beginning to plan strategies and targets well into the new millennium. Since the 1960s, research and development in the road safety field have produced informed and sophisticated approaches to road injury prevention. The road safety focus for each progressive decade has moved from the focus by government on improvements in vehicle design (from the 1960s) to community driven tighter regulation of behaviours and vehicles and improved road design and traffic management (in the 1970s) to enforcement and education (from the 1980s) to more strategic and efficient program delivery (in the 1990s). The future challenges for road safety may lie mainly in the ability to encourage the community will to make sacrifices in freedoms and mobility in order to make more significant gains in the reduction of road trauma. Already some European governments are taking decisions which reflect some radical new thinking2 about the road safety problem with some far-reaching implications for ‘delivery agencies’. The road safety community in Australia has largely relied on an analysis of the road trauma problem using the ‘Haddon Matrix’ in assessing the road, vehicle and human factors in pre-crash, crash and post crash scenarios. This has resulted in the use of a scientific method of determining the ‘best’ countermeasures to adopt. However, it is the community and bipartisan political will that has enabled Australian road safety authorities and contributing agencies to actively pursue the identified educational, enforcement and engineering interventions. The purpose of this paper is to explore the mix and the balance of technical, administrative and political requisites of an optimal road safety strategy. 1 Sweden, Great Britain |
