Factors Influencing on Accident Rate Reduction Common activities of all institution Intensive educational activities Consistent inservice training and amendments of pertaining legislation New strategy since 2007 Strict control of road users Implementation of engineering measures ITS
Type and strategy of engineering activities in Lithuania since 2007 Selected strategy Large-scale implementation of local measures Application of most costeffective measures Implementation of cheaper measures enabled to implement engineering activities in almost all accident-prone and dangerous localities; Implementation of minor measures enabled to reduce design and installation time; Extremely large dissemination of engineering measures was ensured; Significant improvement of general traffic safety conditions was achieved; Significant economic effect was obtained.
Speed management solutions and their influence on effectiveness Roundaboauts; Engineering upgrading of dangerous junctions (safety islands); Infrastructure for vulnerable road users (road crossings); Traffic calming, speed humps and bumps; Speed cameras; Additional road safety measures.
