"Highly readable, entertaining, and educational volume on the scientific evidence regarding road safety interventions. Evans is at his best explaining counterintuitive results. Evans's book dismisses much of the folklore very effectively, and this is its most important contribution."Choice American Library Association
"It is truly an enjoyable and easy book to read. Evans has included some great stories and has made extensive use of tables and graphs to illustrate data and concepts."Israel Medical Association Journal
"After reviewing and using his 1991 classic, Traffic Safety and the Driver - always within eye reach, I asked myself "What can Leonard Evans do for an encore?" The encore is even better than the original. "JAMA
A variety of audiences will enjoy this book. Researchers and policymakers will find a clear and detailed summary of current knowledge. Drivers will learn several tips for being safer on the road. Evans' work covers in remarkable detail the full range of important topics in traffic safety . . . but his chapter The Dramatic Failure of U.S. Safety Policy is the showstopper.—Journal of the American Medical Association
The Lancet
"If you want to understand why enforcing the traffic safety laws will save lives then read Traffic Safety. Evans is a brilliant scientist whose work deserves to be read."Transportation Research Forum
