The US has long taken a safety individualism approach, both in its messaging around safety behaviors and in its laws and structures for accountability for a traffic-related injury. As Safe Systems advocates promote a more “shared responsibility” for safety, there is a need to unpack what shared responsibility means and what aspects of our system must change to redistribute the balance of power and accountability to prevent a crash. Panelists will talk about how system structures are designed to protect corporations and roadway owners from responsibility and crash liability, perpetuating a burden on individuals.
Moderated by Seth LaJeunesse, Senior Research Associate at the UNC Highway Safety Research Center
