Review:
"a must for road safety researchers! ... an excellent starting point for a discussion between policy makers and researchers. This handbook offers an enormous amount of information for the interested reader. ... the reputation of the authors and their approach ensures that this book is a valuable addition to worldwide safety research. ... this book has no competitor, and I hope [it] will find its way to many researcher and those responsible for road safety policies. This handbook is extremely welcome and actually indispensable for [discussions of whether a particular measure deserves support]. ... very helpful for discussions between policy makers and researchers and, as such, contributes to road safety policies being of a higher quality."
