“… an important collection of essays for anyone who wants to understand n
more about road safety policy. Behavioural change is a key to achieving
further casualty reductions and improvements in safety overall. How do we
help people to comply with safe behaviours and reduce risk both to them-
selves and to others? That is what this book has tried to set out to do.”
—Robert Gifford, Director, the Gifford Partnership, Milton Keynes, UK
“… timely and welcome… an important contribution to the advance-
ment of evidence-based road safety delivery.” B
—Ezra Hauer, University of Toronto, Canada e
h
“… a comprehensive account of how people adapt to safety measures
T a
imposed upon them, typically in unexpected ways which often lessen the
measure’s effectiveness. It urges safety managers to predict behavioural h a v
e
n
adaptation before implementation and provides a method for doing so o i
d o
which should prove invaluable.” r

“The book illustrates the challenges that researchers, policymakers, and
e
practitioners are facing when designing, implementing, monitoring, and n d l
assessing the impacts of various safety measures and policies. It provides ce s a
evidence regarding the occurrence of behavioural adaptation and pro-
a a d
poses models and methods for understanding and managing this critical
n
issue.” d f a

“… a critical contribution to the human factors literature in road safety i y a
o
… addressing a topic too frequently ignored, perhaps especially so by
n t
engineers who are used to dealing with materials that don’t adapt. …
i
behavioural adaptation can be positive, neutral, or negative. If the latter, o
it can stymie our best efforts in designing safety countermeasures.
n
This book is an invaluable contribution to the understanding of this
phenomenon… ”
