Justin Runji jrunji@worlbank.org SSATP – ssatp@worldbank.org Road Safety Strategic Orientations Proposals on Future Road Safety Engagement
Cluster 3: Road Safety Policy enhancements to better align country initiatives to UN Decade of Action • Coordination among AU, ECA, RECs and countries for identification of policy gaps and priorities and provision of strategic guidance • Monitor, review and advise on the implementation of global and regional declarations on road safety • Creation of lead agencies (at country level) where they do not exist
Cluster 3: Road Safety Capacity building for effective road safety management • Regional • Enhance collaboration with regional transport sector associations (ASANRA, ARMFA, AGEPAR, Transport Associations, etc.) • Creation of RS sub-regional organizations • Sharing of information and good practice • National • Road safety lead agency operational guidelines • Conduct road safety audit • Strengthen policy compliance and enforcement
Key emerging issues • Focus on policy rather than implementation • Coordinate with other actors (AUC; WHO; Cooperating partners ..) to harmonize approach and to avoid duplication • Prioritize national issues before regional
1. Road safety management • Raising the profile of lead agency to high political offices • Effective road safety management • Development of road safety strategies • Framework for financing road safety • Better articulation of the roles and responsibilities of insurance companies • Corporate social responsibility on road safety • Alcohol manufactures • Car manufactures • Traffic accident data management – standardization and harmonization
2. Safer Roads • Road safety audit – a requirement for road funding • Axle loads control • Axle load harmonization • Standardization of road standards and signage • Emphasis on road maintenance rather than new construction • Dedication of a pre-identified proportion of cost to road safety • User friendly designs – “a total road” approach
3. Safer Vehicles Safer Vehicles • Importation, licensing, vehicle and inspection • Certification of vehicle mechanics on road safety • Control of usage of motor cycles
4. Safer Road Users • Training and licensing of drivers • Education curriculum on road safety • Enforcement of existing laws and regulations
5. Post-Crash • Better accident management
