Abstract

Methods used and results achieved in a month long intensified enforcement and publicity program conducted in a New Zealand city are described. During this period anti-accident patrols were effectively trebled and the campaign received extensive news coverage both locally and nationally. Injury accidents in the period were 33 1/3% fever, and there was a substantial reduction in accident severity. There was a noticeable improvement in driver behaviour during the period but a reversion to previous habits soon after.
