1. Divera Twisk 31 October 2003 www.swov.nl SWOV Enforcement in (near) future- issues to be addressed ESCAPE symposium 02-12- 2003

2. Divera Twisk 2 December2003 www.swov.nl ESCAPE Content  Short overview recommendations  Lessons from Escape on enforcement  Speed  Alcohol  Safety belts  Conclusions

3. Divera Twisk 2 December2003 www.swov.nl ESCAPE EU recommendations  Target 50% less fatalities by 2010  Enforcement target: 25% reduction (14.071 fatalities)  Safety level within EU 1:3 (Short-term police enforcement/long term infrastructure)  Reasoning: it is not the national laws/rules that make the difference but the level of enforcement  Proposed measures based on experiences in SUN countries

4. Divera Twisk 2 December2003 www.swov.nl ESCAPE Proposed measures (C/B)  Drink driving 3.8 – 8 : 1  Speed 5 - 6.8 : 1  Seatbelt 10 - 13 : 1

5. Divera Twisk 2 December2003 www.swov.nl ESCAPE ESCAPE and EU recommendations

6. Divera Twisk 2 December2003 www.swov.nl ESCAPE ESCAPE Issues in alcohol enforcement  How to target the heavy drinker (Also in SUN still a major problem)  What alternatives are there for financial punishments: how effective?  When to use an alcohol interlock and/or rehabilitation programs (ANDREA)  How to communicate (especially new member states)

7. Divera Twisk 2 December2003 www.swov.nl ESCAPE ESCAPE Issues in speed enforcement  Despite high police enforcement  Massive % of speed violations  Compliance only at police controlled locations  Speed violations are socially accepted  Small violations are subject of public/political debate  To hard to communicate in publicity campaigns

9. Divera Twisk 2 December2003 www.swov.nl ESCAPE How to approach this:  Embed enforcement in speed management approach  Promote credibility  Speed limits  Fixed speed limits: while safe speed are context related develop Flexible contextual speed limits  Communicate on speed issues, address:  Individual drivers are inadequate in (collective) risk assessment  minor violations or on the serious ones (not only on black spots)  in-line with alcohol random testing: what about random speed checks

10. Divera Twisk 2 December2003 www.swov.nl ESCAPE Issues in safety belt non-use  Low priority in police work  Technical solution as effective  Combine with child restraints campaign

11. Divera Twisk 2 December2003 www.swov.nl ESCAPE How to organize monitoring  Use performance indicators (e.g % of drink- drivers): not police hours  Set targets in terms of performance indicators  Evaluate + demonstrate effects (research!)

12. Divera Twisk 2 December2003 www.swov.nl ESCAPE Conclusion  Near future  Communicate  Legitimize effort  To increase public support  Embed enforcement in speed management e.g  Credibility of speed limits  Road design  Far future  An open eye for technology push
