Road safety

In today's complex traffic system the AIT recognizes that road safety issues require an integrated and long-term approach in areas such as road infrastructure; vehicle design; traffic management and traffic regulations. The AIT also believes that in addition to these issues, on-going driver education is key to ensuring that the unacceptable number of road casualties is significantly reduced.
