Road Safety Program in SEA
Standard Presentation
1. Road Safety
Worldwide Context
Road traffic injuries are a huge public health and
development issue
• More than 3,000 people die and 15,000 are disabled for life every day*
• Second leading cause of death globally among young people aged 5 to
29*
• 90% of dead related to road traffic accidents occur in developing
countries*
• Asia–Pacific region:
• Contributes up to 44% of global road deaths, although it only has
16% of the world’s motorized vehicle fleet**
• Very high proportion of 2-wheeled vehicles, important traffic mix,
poor institutions and further rapid motorization
• Huge economic losses (between 1 and 3 % of GDP)

Notice: When calculated in comparison with the population (number of fatalities/100,000 persons), the fatality rate in Cambodia is in the ASEAN
average.
1. Road Safety
Cambodian Context
• Every day, 3 persons die and more than 100 are injured
• Cambodia is at the bottom of its motorization curve and
exponential growth can be expected for the forthcoming years
Evolution of road traffic accident and casualties (base 100 = 1995)
•
Road traffic accidents,
casualties and fatalities
increase more proportionally
than road traffic and
population.
•
Over the last five years, the
number of fatalities has
doubled.
The road network is rapidly
improving, allowing speed
increases.
The total economic loss of
road traffic accidents is
estimated at 116 million US$
annually (ADB).

3. Cambodia Road Safety Program
1. Establishing the mechanism of NRSC
Assist the National Road Safety Committee to be actively
coordinating the National Road Safety Action Plan
•
Regularly update and monitor the
implementation of the National Road
Safety Action Plan (NRSAP)
•
Organize an annual meeting of the
National Road Safety Committee
(NRSC) every year
•
Advice selected provincial and
municipal road safety committees

2. RTAVIS
Provide road safety related stakeholders with accurate and
complete data on road traffic accidents and victims
• Permanent database integrating data from various
sources (trained staff at hospitals, private clinics and
traffic police) through out the country
• Reports distributed monthly mainly via email
• Annual report providing recommendations for road
safety stakeholders
• Research on specific topics (e.g. motodop drivers,
young drivers behavior,…)
• Traffic police training on the use of GPS
• Key staffs training within the GSNRSC to
progressively manage the database.

3. Road Safety Education
Improve primary and lower secondary school children’s road
safety behaviors by providing them with an effective road safety
education curriculum
Grades 1 to 6
• Development of the curriculum for elementary;
• Integration of the curriculum in the formal school
curriculum, in collaboration with MoEYS
• Full implementation in Phnom Penh, and pilot test in 3
provinces in 2005,
• Extension in all the provinces;
Grades 7 to 12
• Development of the curriculum;
• Integration of the curriculum in the formal school
curriculum;
• Implementation in Phnom Penh and other provinces.

4. Road safety public campaign
Enhance public awareness on particular issues of road safety
by setting-up mass media campaigns and targeted awareness
initiatives.
• Mass media campaigns (TV and radio spots, posters,
banners, leaflets, stickers, newspapers articles…)
• Regular events, e.g.:
• Press conference during World Health Day (7th of April)
• Helmet Distribution Ceremony to 1,500 children at the
Olympic Stadium in Phnom Penh (8th of December) in
presence of His Majesty King Sihamoni

• Khmer New Year campaign
• Awareness events in universities and schools.

5. Partnership with private and NGOs
Increase the involvement and capacity of the civil society in
improving road safety
• Management and further development the
road safety network (RSN)
• Coordination of actions of local NGOs in road
safety.
• Identification and training road safety
ambassadors (along major national roads)
• Development and distribution of standardized
road safety education and awareness
material to those ambassadors
• Organization of road safety workshops and
support to the development of a road safety
action plan for each village

6. Emergency Assistance
Improve the capacity of the traffic police in providing first aid
response to traffic casualties and to refer them to adequate health
structures
• Elaborating the guidelines on first aid for traffic
polices
• Training for selected traffic police officers in each
province;
• Follow up and lobby the Ministry of Health for
greater emergency assistance services

7. Tangible results achieved since the beginning
• RTAVIS covers the whole country and its data are widely used
by road safety actors and media;
• The Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports has approved the
national road safety curriculum and more than 160,000 children
in Phnom Penh are already being trained on road safety;
• Helmet wearing rate has more than doubled in the country in 1.5
years (from 7.5 to more than 15%);
• The Council of Ministers has approved a new land traffic law
which will help to considerably improve the road safety situation;
• A National Road Safety Committee has been created.
On top of this, regular evaluations of the projects have been
performed and have shown very positive results. For example:
• More than 70% of villagers interviewed along National Road 5
have seen helmet wearing awareness campaigns on TV;
• More than 60% of the children that received road safety
education got a score higher then 7/10 on a road safety test at
the end of the year.
