In the report, PACTS proposes a framework which recognises that the safety of the entire road system needs to be considered to reduce deaths and serious injuries – not simply driver behaviour.
PACTS says adopting such a system would give practitioners the breadth of information they need to assess the performance of their road network.
The indicators proposed by PACTS are:
• Percentage of traffic complying with speed limits on national roads
• Percentage of traffic complying with speed limits on local roads
• Percentage of drivers who do not drive after consuming alcohol or drugs
• Percentage of car occupants using a seat belt / child seat
• Proportion of drivers not using an in-car phone (handheld or hands free)
• Percentage of new passenger cars with highest Euro NCAP safety rating
• Percentage of roads with appropriate iRAP rating
• Percentage of emergency medical services arriving at accident scene within 18 minutes
