Safer Roads by Design� - Roadside Safety Applications Seminar

Tue, 07 Mar 2006 00:00:01 GMT

Road authorities need to understand how the interaction among the driver, vehicle and the road can prevent or reduce the severity of traffic accidents. All drivers are human, and as such make mistakes. It is therefore impossible to completely eliminate all accidents on the roads. However, it is possible to design highways to use today's technology to make these impacts less severe. In effect, this technology is forgiving motorists when they make mistakes, and not making the motorists pay for their mistakes by giving up their lives.
