“SAFE”
Safe System Approach

are unacceptable
•Humans make mistakes
•Humans are vulnerable
•Responsibility is shared
•Safety is proactive
•Redundancy is crucial
None of the Safe Systems matter if:

around the motor vehicle
•Communities don’t prioritize funding
•Users continue to disregard laws of the road
•We build larger and larger vehicles
•Aggressive and distracted driving continue
