- W642504344 abstract "This article, from a special issue on road safety, reviews the situation of recent economic growth and an accompanying increase in road accidents and casualties in Poland. The authors draw from a 1991 report, Road Safety in Poland, which established that one of the main reasons for Poland's poor road safety performance is the lack of a central body to coordinate safety policies or a long-term road safety program. The Polish Government subsequently established the National Road Safety Board in 1993, a group charged with preparing a national road safety program; this program was called GAMBIT'96 and brought together stakeholders from the engineering, enforcement, and education worlds. The authors report that between 1991 and 2000, Poland achieved significant improvements in road safety; the annual fatality rate went down from nearly 8,000 to 5,500. However, this number has now leveled off, suggesting that the current safety measures are no longer able to cope with the growing road traffic. The authors summarize several important road transportation documents that have been adopted by the Polish government in the five years since the country joined the European Union. The article concludes with an outline of the new GAMBIT 2005 road safety plan, designed to cover 2005-2013. GAMBIT 2005 has 5 main goals: build a basis for a long-term road safety policy; implement measures to significantly change road user behavior; protect pedestrians, bicyclists and children in road traffic; develop and maintain road infrastructure; and reduce accident severity, i.e. reduce the percentage of people killed per 100 people injured. The authors voice their concern that because the National Safety Board acts in an advisory capacity only, there is not the support of a professional body dedicated to the development of operational programs, monitoring the progress, evaluating the measures and correcting them, if necessary." @default.
