Best practices for road safety campaigns

The report presents key findings of a literature review of best practices for road safety campaigns, and relate these to actual road safety campaign practices by road administrations and authorities of fourteen countries who responded to a survey questionnaire.

The report covers the following key focus areas:

  1. Road User Behaviour (including reference to theories of behaviour change), 
  2. Types of Road Safety Campaigns, 
  3. Target Audiences, 
  4. Campaign Media, and
