The Safe System Approach

The Safe System Approach is a strategy for improving road safety by recognizing that people make mistakes and that we must design systems that accommodate these errors. It focuses on creating safer road environments, vehicles, and user behaviors, ensuring that if accidents do occur, they result in minimal harm. Key elements include infrastructure improvements, vehicle safety features, and public education. The approach emphasizes collaboration between governments, organizations, and communities to create a holistic road safety framework, aiming to reduce fatalities and injuries while promoting a culture of safety for all road users.
