WRI perform road safety inspections to identify key road safety issues
WRI is working with the AIP Foundation, the HCMC Urban-Civil Works Construction Investment Management Authority (UCCI), Traffic Safety Committee, and Department of Transportation (DOT) to improve traffic safety around schools under the Walk This Way Program.
WRI performed road safety inspections to identify key road safety issues, including unsafe infrastructure and dangerous speeds around the schools. The inspection was complemented by AIP Foundation which identified key risk factors through interviews with school officials, students, and parents.
The project identified four pilot schools and 37 schools for the Walk this Way program. Pilot schools are currently implementing WRI’s recommended safety measures, which will be scaled up to all city school zones. WRI is also working with AIP Foundation to create a Safe School Zone Manual, as there is currently no school zone standard for HCMC. Other partners in the programme provide safety education and social marketing expertise. Based on evaluations at pilot schools, DOT will determine implementations at program schools during 2019
