Global Road Safety Partnership (GRSP) has shared a new resource from the WHO Regional Office for Europe aimed at helping countries reduce deaths and injuries on their roads.
This evidence-based manual has been created to strengthen Road Policing and Enforcement (RPE) worldwide and offers practical guidance for:
- Police and gendarmerie
- The judiciary
- Policy-makers and road safety professionals
- NGOs and the private sector
GRSP said RPE plays a critical role in saving lives, but remains under-resourced, especially in low- and middle-income countries.
The manual aims to meet that gap by covering:
- All major behavioral risk factors
- All categories of road users
- The full road policing chain — from legislation and detection to penalties, data systems and governance
- Intelligence-led, evidence-based approaches to deter high-risk behaviours and prevent criminal use of the road network.
