Abstract:
The objective of this project is to develop a methodology to assess road safety performance in a selection of Latin America countries and benchmark their performance against a set of indicators and best practices. The expected outcome is to offer policy makers in Latin America a tool to assess the weaknesses and strengths of each country and identify areas deserving policy attention and where the experience of other countries may be usefully applied. The results from this benchmarking analysis shall be useful to policy makers and researchers in understanding better road safety principles and in learning from each other in order to design effective road safety policies.
