Outside central areas only a relatively small proportion of urban accidents may occur in clusters sufficiently large to justify the use of site-specific engineering remedies. Low-cost measures, combined to produce an area-wide effect are already used in environmental improvement schemes to discourage through-traffic from entering residential streets, to reduce the speed of access traffic and to make drivers more aware of the dangers inherent in the residential environment. The data available suggest that the same measures might be effective in reducing accidents, not only on residential streets but also on arterial routes. (Copyright (c) Crown Copyright 1979.)
