This reference book provides traffic safety researchers and
practitioners with an international and multi-disciplinary
compendium of theoretical and methodological chapters. Together,
these chapters discuss the research and application of "Traffic
Safety Culture" as an important approach to traffic safety,
including the vision of zero traffic fatalities and serious
injuries. Traffic crashes are a significant cause of death and
debilitating injury worldwide, especially in low- and middle-income
countries. Whereas most traditional safety efforts teach safe
behavior (education), punish risky behavior (enforcement), or
design the environment to minimize crash injury resulting from
those behaviors (engineering), there is also the need to understand
the culture of our social environments that influence our concern
for traffic safety and choice of behaviors. As a result, there is
growing interest in the concept of Traffic Safety Culture. However,
this concept is relatively new and is not yet supported by a robust
theoretical foundation or amassed large body of research. The goal
of this book is to create a theoretical foundation and
methodological framework for using traffic safety culture,
including the discussion of best practices for developing,
implementing and evaluating culture-based strategies.
