Good Practice Manuals
The UN Road Safety Collaboration has strongly supported the development of a series of good practice manuals which address the recommendations of the World Report on Road Traffic Injury Prevention (2004).
Five manuals have been produced to date:
 |
Helmets: a road safety manual for decision-makers and practitioners (2006) A large proportion of the deaths of people injured or killed while riding two-wheelers result from injuries to the head. |
 |
Drinking and driving: a road safety manual for decision-makers and practitioners (2007) Drinking and driving is one of the main causes of road crashes worldwide. Effective drinking and driving programmes have the potential to save thousands of lives. |
 |
Speed management: a road safety manual for decision-makers and practitioners (2008) Speed has been identified as a key risk factor in road traffic injuries, influencing both the risk of crash as well as the severity of the injuries. |
 |
Seat-belts and child restraints: a road safety manual for decision-makers and practitioners (2009) 'Seat Belts and Child Restraints' is a practical guide to implementing, enforcing and evaluating seat belt programmes. |
 |
Data systems: a road safety manual for decision-makers and practitioners (2010) This manual provides practical guidance for establishing data systems that will improve measurement of a country's road traffic injury problem, facilitate selection of evidence-based interventions, and allow for better evaluation of progress. |
