This paper details an RACV project aimed at exploring the cultural and institutional barriers that appear to be hindering a unified ‘top-down’ approach to road safety across the range of agencies responsible for infrastructure within the road environment. Based on findings to date, this paper investigates the cultural issues that help to determine the behaviour of key social, political and institutional players and seeks to define and gain insights into the institutional context within which roadside safety issues fall. It discusses ways in which these barriers can be overcome in order to provide an inherently safer road environment for the community.
