Close collaboration between independent evaluators, commissioning staff and program managers helped focus the evaluation on
important questions for program management, maximising the usefulness of evaluation results. A clear safety benefit was found, along with broad support from the community, practitioners and stakeholders. The evaluation recommended expanding the program to generate further safety benefits and improve urban amenity. Increased implementation of permanent 40 km/h speed limits will be considered in light of the findings. | | Conference Name | 2018 Australasian Road Safety Conference | | Conference Abbreviation | ARSC | | Conference Location | Sydney, Ausralia | | Conference Date | 3-5 October 2018 | | Notes | This extended abstract is available to download: http://acrs.org.au/files/papers/arsc/2018/JACRS-D-18-00142-Fry.pdf |
