The aim of this study was to describe how the Traffic Conflict Technique (TCT) could be used in urban areas of developing countries to: a) identify and quantify traffic risks; b) improve traffic safety for different groups of road users; and c) plan the development of infrastructure and the traffic environment. The work was carried out as a field study in Cochabamba, Boliva, a city with a population of around 400,000, and the report includes the following: 1) a description of the conflict technique and its use; 2) recommendations for using conflict technique in cities in developing countries, and how the information can be interpreted and used in economically realistic, practical solutions; and 3) a description of some types of "engineering" solutions that can improve traffic safety.
