TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - Addressing key global agendas of road safety and climate change: synergies and conflicts JO - Journal of the Australasian College of Road Safety A1 - Sakashita, Chika A1 - Job, R. F. Soames SP - 62 EP - 68 VL - 27 IS - 3 N2 - Many activities which will deliver road safety also provide co-benefits for climate change, as well as health benefits due to reduced noise, reduced air pollution, and increases in active transport. The synergies between road safety and climate change far outweigh any points of conflict. Focus on the activities with clear co-benefits allows for more efficient delivery of benefits for both agendas. Primary among these are reducing travel speeds, improving vehicle standards, and reducing the use of private motorized vehicles. Many policy, regulatory, and infrastructure levers exist by which these co-benefits may be accessed. Further, the promotion of these co-benefits may assist in garnering stronger political support for road safety as well as climate change.
