Summary

The project investigated the feasibility of an event which promotes the use of transport modes other than the private car. A participative event was considered necessary to draw attention to the promotion. The study considers the characteristics of the existing transport system and the likely demands placed on it by a promotion. The proposed promotion is an intensive media campaign culminating in a one-day event.

Summary

This report summarises the influence of non-road safety factors on the level of fatal road crashes. Economic, social and meteorological factors were analysed as independent processes, each capable of influencing the number of fatal crashes. Various statistical models were fitted to determine the power of each factor to predict crash trends. This report summarises the findings described in report CR 106.

Summary

Review of Literature—young children's characteristics and road safety preschool-based road safety education Preschool Teaching Program on Road Safety comparison of teaching methods (teacher guidance, learning centre, free play). Results of the Teaching Methods—talking with children about play on road safety themes can increase their road safety knowledge—teacher interaction with children during road safety play increases awareness of road safety—teaching road crossing rules can elicit related skills in supervised contexts.
