Abstract(s)
Os acidentes de viação apresentam-se como um problema complexo com consequências dramáticas para o ser humano onde tradicionalmente a responsabilidade recai sobre o utilizador do espaço. Portugal regista uma sinistralidade rodoviária grave muito superior aos países de referência na redução do número de mortes nas estradas e que têm uma política pública de segurança rodoviária sustentada nos sistemas seguros. Os sistemas seguros abordam a sinistralidade rodoviária reconhecendo e tolerando o erro humano, estando a vida das pessoas no centro das suas preocupações. A pesquisa realizada sobre as medidas implementadas e as abordagens necessárias para mudar mentalidades permitiu aferir os seus impactos positivos na redução de vítimas mortais na Suécia, Holanda e Reino Unido. As boas práticas e os conhecimentos sobre a circulação rodoviária existente nesses países devem ser aproveitados por Portugal para reduzir a sinistralidade rodoviária grave registada. A existência de uma verdadeira cultura de segurança rodoviária implica uma visão holística do problema, uma mudança de mentalidades sobre a ocorrência dos acidentes de viação, o envolvimento e o compromisso sério e duradouro por todos aqueles que têm responsabilidade no sistema rodoviário.
Road accidents present themselves as a complex problem with dramatic consequences for the human being where traditionally the responsibility falls on the user of the space. Portugal is experiencing serious road accidents which are much higher than the reference countries in reducing the number of deaths on the road and have a public road safety policy based on safe systems. Safe systems address road accidents by recognizing and tolerating human error, and people's lives are at the center of their concerns. Research on the measures implemented and the approaches needed to change mindsets have made it possible to gauge their positive impacts on reducing fatalities in Sweden, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Good practices and knowledge of road traffic in these countries should be used by Portugal to reduce the number of road fatalities recorded. The existence of a true road safety culture implies a holistic view of the problem, a change of mentalities about the occurrence of road accidents, involvement and a serious and lasting commitment by all those who have responsibility in the road system.
