The last few years, traffic enforcement has known a fast evolution. Both the national safety plan and the local safety plans manifestly contain a road safety policy. Through action programmes the police try to make the enforcement policy as efficient as possible. Moreover, numerous legislative initiatives have been (and will be) taken in the field of road safety. Furthermore, the debate on the regionalisation of road safety remains a controversial issue. This book takes a close look at certain evolutions in the field of road safety and analyses the role of the police services in this domain. Apart from some topics of general interest, it also presents concrete initiatives in the form of good practices. Contents: Foreword. HUTSEBAUT F, SCHEERS M, VAN ERCK J - Traffic enforcement.
