Traffic safety measures in developing countries: Bright and grey areas in knowledge. EVALUATION 85. International Meeting on the Evaluation of Local Traffic Safety Measures, Paris, France, May 20-23, 1985.

While traffic accidents can not be fully eliminated, traffic safety can be enhanced by conscious and concerted efforts on many fronts. Due to cultural, demographic and economic differences, the measures appropriate to developing countries have to be different from those claimed to be successful in developed countries.
