Attachm <br />Pedestrian safety: a road safety manual for decision-makers and practitioners <br />Attach <br />its programmes in detail, it is useful to make a conscious effort to identify some <br />measures of success before activities begin. These measures should then be used to <br />compare progress before and after the advocacy effort to determine if that effort <br />needs to be redirected or redesigned in some way. <br />Advocacy groups can facilitate implementation of the measures presented in <br />Module 4 by: <br />• raising awareness about pedestrian safety; <br />. drawing the attention of local and national governments to the need to prioritize <br />pedestrian safety in policies and programmes; <br />mobilizing action at the local level to implement pedestrian safety measures; <br />® generating public demand for pedestrian safety measures; and <br />. championing the safety rights of children, as well as elderly and disabled <br />pedestrians (see Boxes 4.1 and 4.H). <br />5.3 Summary <br />The content presented in this module is summarized as follows: <br />Evaluation is an integral component of implementation. It is necessary to plan <br />for evaluation with regard to aims, objectives, evaluator, indicators, methods and <br />dissemination of results. Evaluation planning should precede implementation. <br />. Advocacy groups can have a significant role in creating conditions that foster the <br />implementation of pedestrian safety measures. <br />References <br />i. Zegeer CV.
