According 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.

The volume was created in co-operation with the 11th International Cycling Safety Conference, held in the Hague, the Netherlands, on 15–17 November 2023.
The volume was handled by the guest editors: Ragnhild Davidse, SWOV Institute for Road Safety Research, the Netherlands, and Arend Schwab, Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands.
Safe 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.
The volume is created in co-operation with the 8th Road Safety & Simulation International Conference, held in Athens, Greece, on 8–10 June 2022.
The volume was handled by the guest editor: George Yannis, National Technical University of Athens, Greece.
Traffic Safety Research is accepted as a member of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics).
The Traffic Safety Research journal calls for research papers addressing traffic safety issues in low- and middle-income countries.
