โฆ Synopsis
Beginning with a description of the problem in a variety of countries, the authors suggest possible future patterns for each stage and type of motorisation. What follows is a thoughtful, but necessarily brief discussion of three major issues: the problems and achievements made in many countries by institutions with a role in traffic safety, a range of injury-reduction strategies, from control of exposure to emergency and treatment services, and a discussion of some of the programs that have been or might be developed to implement these strategies. At this point, the authors argue the need for adequate information: this is required not only to establish a case for specific programs, but to enable rational policy development and to evaluate actions that have been taken.
The monograph concludes with a summary of the problems and a series of recommendations to the world at large. While some of these are addressed to each country, most involve international cooperation and coordination in both the public (e.g. the World Bank, the United Nations) and the private sector.
