Traffic laws reduce crash deaths
Properly enforced traffic safety laws, such as speed control measures
and traffic calming measures, are the most effective way of reducing
road deaths. Driver education and training programmes have no effect on
crash rates. O'Neill and Mohan (p 1142) say that to reduce the
increasing numbers of crash deaths and injuries resulting from the
rapid growth in use of motor vehicles, countries need to adopt a broad
array of research based measures. These include setting safety
standards for the front ends of motor vehicles to make them less hazardous.
