Highlights North American crash causation studies are faulty in method. The ‘State’ produces and operates roads but their safety is largely unpremeditated. The professionals’ obligation to the public and loyalty to employer are in conflict.

    Abstract With the design of an existing bike-lane in mind I discuss several general issues: accident causation and its linkage to the formulation of prevention strategies; the myopia afflicting major studies of causation and their misleading ‘the-driver-did-it’ message; the question of who is responsible for what in the management of road safety; and the difficult position in which the professionals find themselves when the ‘State’ does not embrace its responsibility to road safety. I think that were the public aware of this state of affairs in North America it might insist on change.
