PIARC
has an active role in the efforts to improve road safety worldwide through
evidence-based studies, technical reports and other type knowledge products.
Technical Committee for Road Safety recognizes that 90% of traffic deaths
occur in Low- and Middle-Income Countries, and uses this information to
assess, identify and share best practices of road safety activities for LMICs
through the development of documents and cases studies highlighting
international practices and lessons learned. The Technical Committee is
focused on making proven countermeasures that are effective in reducing the
likelihood and severity of crashes, available to LMICs for consideration in
safety project development.
Join us for a workshop dedicated to Effective Road Safety Management and
Targeted Road Safety Solutions for LMIC and vivid discussions with key
international road safety experts. Important results from key PIARC
Publications will be demonstrated, like the famous PIARC Road Safety Manual
and the recent Reports on LMIC Specific Issues and Successful Case Studies.
Emphasis will be given to Infrastructure, Human Factors, Speeding and
Vehicles and the related data and analyses as well as the management and
research infrastructure needed in LMICs. A comprehensive set of key
recommendations for the successful implementation of best practice will be
provided and thoroughly discussed.
