Road safety or safe mobility? The challenge of adherence to rules in the road space

Abstract

The challenge of adhering to the rules in the road space Understanding the factors that influence respect for the rules at the time of driving allows us to design public policies that reduce the number of road accidents. In the context of transport safety, the road space represents perhaps the most complex challenge regarding the number of players and resulting interactions. It is also the area of human circulation that claims the most victims. Due to its cross-cutting nature, almost the entire population is part of the road space, whether on foot or in a vehicle. Focusing efforts on who drives and how they drive can be key to reducing the accident rate.
