Abstract

An attempt has been made to reappraise the use of police injury codes reported on police accident reports as indices of injury severity reduction resulting from highway safety programs. However, it appears that the police injury codes do not adequately reflect the true severity level of injuries and thus reliance on police injury codes in evaluation of highway safety countermeasures should be done with great caution.
