| Summary | Published in May 2003 IOT SERIAL No.92-42-3242，402 pp. Road transportation safety is closely related to the economic development and stability of a society. In the APEC Transportation Working Group (TPT-WG), Chinese Taipei initiates the idea of establishing a Road Transportation Safety Experts Group (RSEG) to improve road safety in the APEC Region. Through the transportation safety experts from each APEC member economy, the RSEG identifies the major road transportation safety problems in Asia Pacific and also shares the experiences and difficulties they encountered while improving the problems. These major road transportation safety problems include twelve issues in total: “Best way to collect and share accident data,” “Improvement of road network and traffic safety facilities,” “Roadside cut slope management,” “Speeding,” “Impaired driving,” “Vehicle overloading,” “Encouraging people to wear seatbelts and motorcycle helmets,” “Pedestrian safety,” “Safety of the elderly,” “Community approach to reduce road related injuries and fatalities,” “Accident black spot approach to reduce accidents,” and “Raising the attention of all societies to road safety problem.” This report is based on the materials provided by all member economies, and categorized into different themes. It is expected to serve as the references for the improvement of road transportation safety for all the APEC member economies. |
