This paper presents an integrated approach developed to act as a comprehensive and detailed framework for achieving sustainable traffic safety management. The proposed framework encompasses all the functions and activities that ought to be pursued within a sustainable management process of traffic safety. Activities involved within the developed approach include: design of accident reporting system; accident analysis and investigation system; diagnosis of direct, root and post causes of accidents; setting of safety objectives; identification of potential safety countermeasures; evaluation of traffic accidents; development of an integrated package of safety countermeasures; operation and operation and implementation of a program of an integrated traffic safety package; dynamic monitoring and post program evaluation; development of an information base on safety countermeasures and packages. The paper explores each of these functions/activities and shows their sequence and dependencies within the proposed framework. The developed framework is thought to achieve and sustain improved traffic safety situations, leading to a reduction of accident risks. Within this framework the paper concludes by laying down 12 fields of action under which policies and remedial measures that are meant to improve and sustain traffic safety can be selected. Institutional measures are particularly discussed due to their overall significance in developing integrated traffic safety packages.
