| 摘要： | 'There's no such thing as an unsafe road, only unsafe drivers.' Often when we post on social media about our work, we get this reaction from the public. It's understandable: people see examples of poor driving all around them and it is true that most crashes are caused by human error. But as highways professionals we can often see where improvements can be made to ensure that road layouts are clearer and easier for drivers to use. With our knowledge of crash dynamics, we can design roads to be more forgiving so that if a crash happens, people can walk away from it rather than paying with their lives for their mistake. Now, after 20 years of measuring, tracking, reporting and campaigning, the business case for safer roads is better understood. Not just by highways professionals, but also by the Department for Transport, Highways England, the Welsh Government, numerous local authorities and importantly, the Treasury. |
