5.4 Typical Policy Measures Per Road Safety Development Phase
The framework of road safety development phases indicates that characteristics and typical
problems differ per road safety development phase. Consequently, the measures and tasks that
are needed to improve road safety also differ per road safety development phase. As an example,
a country that is in the establishment phase is often phased with an inadequate legal framework
and an underdeveloped road network, resulting in a need for measures aimed at creating a solid
legal framework and at developing basic infrastructure, with attention for vulnerable road
users. In countries that have entered into the growth or maturity phase, needs have changes and
so have the consequent measures resents examples of typical measures and tasks per
development phase.
