“…Road safety management is the task of preparing and implementing road safety policies, which include defining of goals and targets, programming, implementing interventions, evaluation, and research (Alfonzi, 2016). Assuming that effective road safety management ensures sound road safety performance, Jähi et al (2012) proposed an ideal road safety management model based on several "good practice" criteria. The model contains a set of activities that would ensure that all stakeholders involved in mobility and transportation follow the procedures that would minimize their vulnerability to road safety accidents (Persia et al, 2016).…”

The social and economic burdens of road accidents have become a governing issue for the authorities and policymakers of developing countries. Moreover, the lack of research on road safety management has hindered the enhancement of road safety in these countries. Thus, this study aimed to improve the road safety standards in Sri Lanka. The objectives of the study are to investigate the causes of road accidents in Sri Lanka, to examine the problems associated with the road conditions existing in Sri Lanka and to propose strategies to improve road safety in Sri Lanka. A qualitative approach was adopted in the study and the empirical data collection commenced with a comprehensive document review to determine the level of road safety management in the country. Thereafter, case study strategy was adopted and three roads in Sri Lanka were selected through purposive sampling as the cases. Non-participatory observations and 20 semi-structured interviews were conducted to collect the required data from the three roads. The collected data were analyzed using code-based manual content analysis. The findings revealed that the roads in Sri Lanka have deficiencies. Eighteen causes of road traffic accidents and nineteen strategies that can enhance road safety in Sri Lanka were identified through the study. Related previous studies have revealed only the statistics, trends, and economic impacts of road accidents in developing countries. Thus, the literature on the management of road safety standards in developing countries is scarce and this study fulfils the research gap. The study adds to the body of knowledge by exploring in detail how the road safety standards in developing countries could be enhanced using Sri Lanka as an example.

“…However, the analysis of traffic safety management in the European countries [21,22,23,24,25,26,27] shows that national "best practice" was not identified in either of them, but there were more elements that meet the criteria of "best practice" in the five main areas of Road Safety Management: institutional organisation, coordination and stakeholders' involvement; policy formulation and adoption; policy implementation and funding; monitoring and evaluation; scientific support and information, and capacity building.…”

“…To achieve an effi ciency and eff ectiveness of road safety management, the coordination of activities must allow responsible decision making at higher institutional levels and responsibility for the improvement of road transport system at lower institutional levels, especially in the area of roads, vehicles, behaviour and health care [22,7,16,5,9,17,14,23,30].…”

Abstract:The research of coordination of activities and responsibility-sharing at the appropriate level of road safety management, conducted by analyzing responses from the prepared Questionnaire, in the period before and after the adoption of the Global Plan for the Decade of action for road safety 2011-2020, showed that the improvement or deterioration of the state of road safety at all levels of management, particularly at the local level within Montenegro, can be directly associated with the achievement of coordination of activities and responsibility sharing for the state of road safety. The aim of the paper is to encourage the development of the road safety system in local communities, basing on a vertical coordination in national and local activities and horizontal coordination in activities at the local level, with the establishment of a responsibility sharing system for the state of road safety in local communities.
