The Go-To Road Safety People
The Safe System is a holistic approach to road safety with a series of key principles: people make mistakes, the human body has limits on the forces it can withstand, we must aim at zero death and serious injury, and that everyone is responsible for road safety – but the ultimate responsibility rests with the system designers. The Safe System has five key lever areas: Safe Roads, Safe Speeds, Safe Road Users, Safe Vehicles and advanced post-crash care.
Using the Safe System, our goal is to make the roads a safer place for everyone.
