November 2016
Canada has had progressive reductions in road traffic collisions (RTCs) since the 1970s as a result of concerted efforts by both government and organizations outside of government. RTCs, however, remain a leading cause of unintentional injury and death for Canadian children, youth and young adults. Given the preventable nature of RTCs, a shift in Canada’s present road safety paradigm is required. A review of effective interventions in preventing RTC fatalities and injuries is presented, along with public health’s recommendations for action moving forward.
