1 Confronting " Death on Wheels " : Making Roads Safe in the Russian Federation
نویسنده
چکیده
Transport is central to development (World Bank 1996). It facilitates the movement of people, goods, and services; enhances employment opportunities; and improves access to essential services. The transport sector is affected by policy decisions in many sectors, and these, together with the transportation options available, facilitate or discourage the use of private cars and otherwise influence the choices people make for traveling. While enhancing social welfare, transport investments can also expose people to hazards or risks with possible acute and chronic health effects, including road traffic injuries (RTIs), the subject of this note.
