THE ROAD SAFETY TOOLKIT PROVIDES FREE INFORMATION ON THE CAUSES AND PREVENTION
OF ROAD CRASHES THAT RESULT IN DEATH AND INJURY.



Building on decades of road safety research, the Toolkit has helped policy
makers, planners, engineers and practitioners develop safety plans for car
occupants, motorcyclists, pedestrians, bicyclists, heavy vehicle occupants and
public transport users.

The Toolkit supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), the Decade of
Action for Road Safety 2021-2030, the Global Plan, and the Global Road Safety
Performance Targets.

The Road Safety Toolkit is originally the result of collaboration between the
International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP), the Global Transport Knowledge
Partnership (gTKP) and the World Bank’s Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF).
Austroads and NTRO (formerly ARRB) provided expert advice during the Toolkit’s
development. The Toolkit benefited from reviews and updates in 2021 funded by
Bloomberg Philanthropies and undertaken by the GRSF with support from iRAP,
Global Road Safety Partnership (GRSP), the Towards Zero Foundation, Global NCAP,
Eastern Alliance for Safe and Sustainable Transport (EASST) and technical
advisors.

Road Users - Pedestrians
Road related speed management involves ensuring that drivers and riders adopt
safe speeds through engineering and speed limits. Regulating traffic speed to
levels commensurate with the road environment is crucial to the delivery of
forgiving roads.
Learn More
Crash Types - Intersections
Intersection crashes are one of the most common types of crash problem,
particularly in urban areas. In rural areas, or where vehicle speeds are high,
the consequence of collisions at intersections can be particularly severe.
Learn More
Road Types - Streets
Streets (or local sometimes called local roads) have the function of providing
access rather than serving as a through road for traffic. Streets may be divided
or undivided, typically have design speeds ranging from 30km/h to 50km/h, and
connect to the surrounding road network with signalised and unsignalised
intersections and roundabouts.

Safer Roads - Speed Management and Traffic Calming
Road related speed management involves ensuring that drivers and riders adopt
safe speeds through engineering and speed limits. Regulating traffic speed to
levels commensurate with the road environment is crucial to the delivery of
forgiving roads.
Learn More
Management - Safe System Approach
The Safe System approach underpins all aspects of an effective road safety
management system. The approach is built on the premise that no one should be
killed or seriously injured while using the road network.
Learn More
Road Users - Car Occupants
Car use is growing rapidly in many countries. The resultant increase in
interaction between cars, heavy vehicles (such as trucks or buses) and
vulnerable road users often leads to conflicts and more crashes.
Learn More
Crash Types - Bicyclist and Light Mobility
Road safety is a critical issue which needs to be addressed to ensure that
bicycling and light mobility options can continue to support new and greener
mobility choices. Bicycles and light mobility vehicles do not have the same
in-built protection large vehicles have. Therefore, safe infrastructure is
critical.
Learn more
Road Types - Highways
Highways are divided or undivided roads that typically have design speeds
ranging from 70km/h to 100km/h and typically connect to surrounding road
networks with unsignalised and signalised intersections and roundabouts.
Learn More
Safer Roads - Skid Resistance
Loss of control through skidding can be a significant factor in many crashes
(especially when the road is wet). Particular attention should be paid to the
skidding resistance properties of the carriageway surface at areas where braking
commonly occurs such as on the approaches to intersections, roundabouts,
pedestrian crossings and on bends or steep grades.
Learn More
Management - Safer Roads Resource Sharing
Working together and sharing resources will be essential to achieving of the
global target of a 50% reduction in road traffic deaths and serious injuries by
2030. The following resources are sources of knowledge that can support road
safety stakeholders and enhance coordination of efforts to eliminate high-risk
roads and countries worldwide.
