What does Substantive Safety focus on?

Substantive Safety focuses on the expected crashes based on data trends, which involves a systematic analysis of historical crash data to identify patterns and areas of concern. This approach prioritizes the understanding of risk factors and the frequency of different types of incidents, allowing for the development of strategies aimed at reducing accidents and improving overall road safety.

By analyzing data trends, safety professionals can assess where, when, and why crashes are likely to occur, enabling them to implement targeted interventions such as enhanced signage, improved road layouts, or traffic control measures in high-risk areas. This data-driven focus ultimately seeks to create a safer environment for all road users by addressing the root causes of crashes and facilitating informed decision-making related to safety initiatives.
