Transport behaviour and road safety consultant Agilysis says its new white paper evaluates the current climate in the UK for the delivery of a safe system' and expands on its Safe System Capacity Survey last year. The safe system approach has become best practice in the road safety world. At its most basic, the approach recognises that humans make mistakes - or rather have limitations -and so tries to build an environment in which a mistake will not cost a life. To do this it considers the interaction of different components of the transport system, rather than addressing individual issues separately. This creates a holistic approach where different components interact systematically to minimise risk and preventative action is taken by all stakeholders and road users, with an equally strong recognition that a proactive rather than reactive ethos is critical. The components of a safe system are: safe roads and roadsides; safe road users; safe vehicles; safe speeds and the post-crash response. |
