• The report on " Strategies to improve safety on rural roads " [CEMT/CM(2002)17]. • That there are large differences between the best countries and the rest. Policies therefore need to be developed to help reduce the differences between countries and encourage the best to do better.

Urban road safety management is usually characterized by the lack of sufficient, good quality crash data and low budgets to obtain it even though many traffic accidents occur there. For example, 54 percent of road crashes in Spain take place in urban areas, and 10 percent of urban fatal crashes occur on crosstown roads, which are rural roads that traverse small communities. Traffic calming meas...

We adapt the Multi-lane Spatial Logic MLSL, introduced in [1] for proving the safety (collision freedom) of traffic manoeuvres on multi-lane motorways, where all cars drive in one direction, to the setting of country roads with two-way traffic. To this end, we need suitably refined sensor functions and length measurement in MLSL. Our main contribution is to show that also here we can separate t...

I present evidence that social capital reduces traffic accidents and related death and injury, using data from a ten-year panel of 48 U.S. states. The econometric challenge is to distinguish the causal effects of social capital from bias resulting from its correlation with unobservable characteristics by state that influence road risks. I accomplish this by employing snow depth as an instrument...
