Q

NZ Road Safety strategy:2010-2020

To achieve the objectives (of the Safe System), the human body’s tolerance to crash forces will need to be the key design factor for the system. Crash forces would be managed so they do not exceed these limits.

For example, a pedestrian or cyclist is likely to be killed or seriously injured by car travelling over 40kms. How would a ‘Safe System protect the pedestrian and cyclist?

prvdng sfr rdng infrstrctre - encrgng uptke vehcls tht inflct hrm, mngng spds redce serus injry rsk.

A

It would protect them by

  • providing safer roading infrastructure, by encouraging the uptake of vehicles that inflict harm, and
  • by managing speeds to reduce serious injury risk.

The Safe System is designed to focus on creating what 4 objectives?

sr, ss, sv, sru

A
  • Safe roads - they’re predictable & forgiving if mistakes
  • safe speeds - suit the function & level of safety of the road.
  • safe vehicles - prevent crashes & protect road users; and

  • It requires a shared responsibility between road users and System designers
  • It says that if drivers are

  2. obey the road rules and
  3. drive at safe speeds,

they should be able to rely on the road, roadside features, and the vehicles to protect them from death and serious injury.
