Road rage has become a serious concern in many countries, and preventive efforts are required. This article reviews what can be done to prevent road rage by exploring potential prevention avenues in five areas. First, legal changes aimed at increasing the penalties for road rage behavior could be instituted, drawing on models from aggressive-driving or impaired-driving laws. A second approach would involve the adoption of court programs for convicted road ragers. Third, car redesign offers a means of reducing crime through environmental design. Fourth, mass media education could be implemented to inform drivers of the risk from road rage and how to avoid situations that facilitate road rage. Finally, prevention efforts could be directed to long-term societal changes that emphasize structural modifications, such as reducing congestion on the roads, reduced driver stress, or promoting public transportation. The strengths and weaknesses of these strategies are discussed.
路怒症在许多国家已成为一个严重问题，需要采取预防措施。本文通过探讨五个领域的潜在预防途径，审视了为预防路怒症可采取的措施。首先，可以借鉴攻击性驾驶或酒驾法律的模式，进行法律变革，加大对路怒行为的处罚力度。第二种方法是为被定罪的路怒者设立法庭项目。第三，汽车重新设计提供了一种通过环境设计减少犯罪的手段。第四，可以开展大众媒体教育，告知司机路怒的风险以及如何避免助长路怒的情况。最后，预防措施可以针对强调结构调整的长期社会变革，比如缓解道路交通拥堵、减轻司机压力或推广公共交通。本文还讨论了这些策略的优缺点。
