TY - JOUR PY - 2016// TI - The critical role of data, education and enforcement in road safety JO - Journal of the Australasian College of Road Safety A1 - Boniface, Gwen A1 - Horn, Sarah R. SP - 43 EP - 50 VL - 27 IS - 3 N2 - While increased accessibility to motorised transportation may benefit countries, for many this boon has come with challlenges for infrastructure, education, or enforcement. Leaving roadways in disarray where the largest vehicle often wins the ability to move first, usually ends with tragic and life altering crashes. Data plays an important role in helping law enforcement identify road safety problems. Before agencies can begin to properly address their road safety issues, they need to identify what the problems are, where the crashes are happening, and where the most pressing traffic safety problems are located. Through analysis of data, law enforcement agencies are able to develop appropriate countermeasures and strategically utilise their often limited resources.
