This paper provides an insight into road safety good practices in overseas countries that could provide guidance to English Local Authorities (LAs). The main objectives of this study were to identify documented examples from outside England where roads have been made safer, and to investigate multi-agency approaches to road safety, working with high risk groups or communities, understanding road user beliefs about risk taking, understanding relationships between national targets and local action, gaining acceptance for controversial proposals and setting effective targets. It is therefore hoped that the document will be valuable in providing policy makers in LAs with clear information on approaches aimed at improving road safety. (Author/publisher)
