RECOMMENDATIONS
• The pace of legislative change is too slow: increase adoption of comprehensive laws.
• Enforcement of strong road safety laws is essential for success and should be coupled with public awareness.
• Reducing road traffic deaths requires more consideration of the needs of pedestrians, cyclists & motorcyclists.
• Also need to make infrastructure safer, implement crash testing standards, as well as improve post-crash care and road safety databases.
