Abstract

This contribution is based on a study on "Integrated traffic safety management in urban areas", which was undertaken by an international scientific expert group of the OECD. The aim of the study was to review the state-of-the-art of planning, implementing and managing integrated traffic safety programmes in urban areas and to provide guidance to set up such programmes. The paper discusses the need for integration of traffic safety in urban management and presents an outline of a conceptual framework for integration, including the following stages: 1. Local policy and decision making; 2. Assessment of traffic safety targets; 3. Goal setting; 4. Design of an integrated programme; 5. Operations and implementation; and 6. Evaluation. Also, organizational conditions necessary for integration will be highlighted, as well as some results of a survey of current schemes. (A)
