Attach <br />Pedestrian safety: a road safety manual for decision-makers and practitioners <br />Attach <br />Module 4 presents key principles and examples of interventions related to roads, <br />vehicles and users from around the world. <br />Module S presents key principles for evaluating pedestrian safety interventions and <br />advocating for pedestrian safety. <br />Case studies from a range of countries and settings are included throughout <br />the modules. <br />How should the manual be used? <br />This manual provides information and examples to meet pedestrian safety planning <br />needs in different local settings. Users are expected to be creative and innovative in <br />adapting the content to the needs of particular situations. Each module contains <br />tools, research findings and references to help readers determine the current status <br />of pedestrian safety issues in their settings, to prioritize the best options for action <br />to improve pedestrian safety, and to take steps that offer the greatest potential <br />for improvement. <br />Individual sections of the manual may be more relevant to some settings than others, <br />but users are advised to read the entire manual. It may be especially appropriate for <br />all users to look at Module 3, which guides users on assessing the pedestrian safety <br />situation, and then proceed to select particular actions to undertake as indicated in <br />other modules. While the importance of adapting the content to local situations - <br />and choosing the appropriate level to begin at - cannot be overstated, users who <br />oversee the local adaptation of the content must also ensure that the fundamental <br />principles are not radically changed or misrepresented. <br />What are the limitations of this manual? <br />This manual provides key information and examples of measures that can be <br />implemented to improve pedestrian safety around the world. The manual does not <br />provide an exhaustive `state-of-the-art' review and case studies on pedestrian safety. <br />The references and case studies offered are designed to provide key information that <br />illustrates the issues being considered. There are several comprehensive reviews of the <br />literature and case studies on pedestrian safety that the reader who wishes to know <br />more may consult. Some of these reviews and studies are indicated in the reference <br />lists in the modules. <br />While every attempt has been made to draw on experiences and lessons learned from <br />countries implementing pedestrian safety programmes, there might be a need for <br />readers to consult national or sub-national guidelines to ensure that decisions made <br />take into account and are consistent with the local context. <br />XV <br />C <br />B <br />
