Three Musts of Traffic Safety Urged by Experts
Experts advocate a trio for accident prevention: better law enforcement, improved driver education, and safer highways. Enforcement should modernize codes and focus on prevention, education must be simple and memorable, and highways should use overpasses, lane separation, and designs that minimize head-on conflicts for a far safer future road system.
Accident Prevention Through Sustained Campaigns
Accident prevention requires a long effort not a quick fix. With properly directed and continuous campaigns over time, progress is achievable and cumulative.
