11.5 Pathway to Effective Intervention Selection and Prioritisation

Getting started

  • Identify and use proven infrastructure interventions to address fatal and serious casualties. Make information on these interventions available to key staff, and train these staff in the selection, installation, operation and maintenance of effective safety interventions.
  • Implement multi-sector demonstration projects on key high-risk corridors utilising these effective interventions. Engage with key stakeholders in designing and implementing these.
  • Establish economic assessment procedures, and train key staff in this process. Use these procedures to prioritise interventions on demonstration corridors.

Making progress

  • Adapt international guidance on effective infrastructure intervention to local country use. This can be achieved through demonstration projects.
  • Train road agency staff and key stakeholders in the selection, installation, operation and maintenance of effective interventions. This should include those responsible for national, regional and local roads.
  • Continue to roll out demonstration projects on high-risk corridors using effective interventions, and extend these to all high-risk parts of the road network.
  • Develop economic assessment procedures and values, including crash costs, based on local conditions and international good practice. Use this information to help maximise efficiency when implementing interventions.

Consolidating activity

  • Continually improve knowledge on effective infrastructure interventions and develop new interventions through trials. Share new knowledge with key stakeholders and the international road safety community.
  • Continue to train road agency staff and key stakeholders in the selection, installation, operation and maintenance of effective interventions.
  • Continue to implement effective interventions on all high-risk parts of the road network. Internationally benchmark economic assessment procedures and values, including crash costs, and continually improve these. Ensure that this knowledge drives investment decisions when implementing safety improvements.
