4 1) Changes in Road Traffic Accident --- Fatalities 1.History of Road Safety in Japan Number of Fatalities(*1,000people) Traffic war led by motorization became a social problem in the 1960s. Fatalities reached a record high of 16,765 in In 2016, the number decreased down to 25 % of the 1970-level "Traffic war" years 16,765(1970) Highest in the past Full-scale Effort Started 3,904(2016) 23% of 1970's Data from National Police Agency Fig-1 Changes in Road Traffic Accident Fatalities within 24 hours* * Fatalities within 24 hours means those who, died within 24 hours due to an accident that was caused by the traffic of trains and vehicles. 3
5 1) Changes in Road Traffic Accident --- Accidents, Fatalities, Casualties, Cars Ownership 1.History of Road Safety in Japan Accidents and injuries in around 2000 were more than in Traffic way years.

37 Summary In order to improve road safety more effectively and efficiently, important things are as follows: 1. Set of nation s targets, and efforts by all related organizations to achieve the target. 2. Promotion of appropriate measures based on the characteristics of road accidents. In order to do so, 1) Identification of national/regional serious road safety problems based on analysis of accident data, and challenge to solve those problems by strategic programs decided by related organizations (from the viewpoint of road improvement) 2) Identification of hazardous spots and implementation of countermeasures at those spots 3) Establishment of consideration methods of countermeasures 36
