Special volume ‘Traffic safety in low- and middle-income countries’ (ongoing)
Vol. 8According to the latest WHO's global status report on road safety from 2023, the vast majority (92%) of traffic deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). While much knowledge on how to prevent traffic fatalities and injuries is available, it often comes from the high-income countries. The general lack of quality research based on the LMIC-context, and particularly performed by the researchers with local knowledge and understanding, is a serious hinder in addressing the global traffic safety challenge.
The purpose of the special volume is to raise the awareness and the scientific level of the discussion related to traffic safety in LMICs.
The volume is handled by the TSR regular editorial team.

Special volume ‘Challenges in transition to Safe System’
Vol. 5Safe System is considered to be the state-of-the-art when it comes to road safety management at all levels. However, its implementation raises many questions. Transition to the Safe System is often met with resistance or misunderstanding by practitioners or politicians, incompatibility with the current practices and need for their update, lack of knowledge or good examples of how Safe System could be applied for specific road safety problems and risks.
This volume aims to raise awareness and the scientific level of the discussion related to the Safe System transition.
The volume was handled by the regular TSR editorial team.
