DESCRIPTION:As the UN Decade of Action for Road Safety (2011-2020) draws t
 o a close\, it is clear that the Sustainable Development Goal of reducing 
 global road traffic deaths by half by 2020 will not be met. In most low- a
 nd middle-income countries (LMICs)\, traffic injuries are rising or stable
  at a high level. In contrast\, traffic deaths in high-income countries (H
 ICs) have been steadily declining for five decades. The talk will present 
 econometric analysis of historic data to argue that the success of HICs re
 sulted from establishing regulatory agencies that conducted large-scale sa
 fety interventions. We will explore the implications for LMICs\, providing
  case studies of the development of similar institutions and their activit
 ies.
