Abstract
A study was undertaken of attitudes, habits and perceptions on a range of road user safety issues for older people in Australia. The study involved a literature review, a one-day workshop of older road users, and a survey of 1600 young and old drivers and pedestrians in a number of shopping centres. This paper presents the results of the study, giving details of the attitudes, behaviour, and problems facing older pedestrians and drivers. A number of areas requiring intervention and additional research were identified to help reduce road trauma for older people in the years ahead. The study was sponsored by the NTNA ACT Road Safety Trust.
