This is an editorial highlighting the power that legislators have in improving global road safety and the failure of the road safety community in optimizing the existing capital of this resource. It argues that legislators must prioritize and adopt laws to improve road safety in their own countries and allocate resources for their enforcement. It also emphasizes the need for legislators to act through regional and global parliamentary bodies to accelerate the adoption and enforcement of laws on a broad scale and on a wide range of topics (such as funding, lead agencies, vehicle regulations), not only on regulating road user behaviour.
这是一篇社论,强调了立法者在改善全球道路安全方面的权力,以及道路安全界未能充分利用这一资源的情况。社论认为,立法者必须优先考虑并通过法律来改善本国的道路安全,并为其执行分配资源。社论还强调,立法者需要通过地区和全球议会机构采取行动,在广泛的范围内加速通过和执行有关法律,涉及的议题广泛(例如资金、牵头机构、车辆法规),而不仅仅是规范道路使用者的行为。
