Safe System Principles

Safe System Principles focus on designing transportation environments that minimize the chance of crashes and reduce injury severity when accidents happen. They emphasize shared responsibility among all road users, safe infrastructure (like well-lit roads and clear signage), and vehicle safety features. The goal is to create a system where humans are protected through thoughtful design, reducing the likelihood and impact of errors or unforeseen events. Overall, these principles aim to share the burden of safety among infrastructure, vehicles, and users to prevent serious injuries and save lives.
