The concept of a national road safety system

Road safety is about a full spectrum of actions which need to be taken by governments to impact how users behave on the road, how vehicles and infrastructure are constructed and maintained to be safe and how post-crash response is organized. The impact can be exercised by creating rules and regulations, thus through a legislative action. The latter might however have only little impact if rules and regulations are not enforced, thus an enforcement and a compliance action is necessary. The impact may also be achieved or supported through actions in education and technology in addition or supportive to the enforcement action.
