Abstract:

Jordan's road network has been one of the fastest growing systems in the area and promises to continue developing in the years to come. In order to continue this road development, the state of Jordan is searching for means to improve road safety and management practices. Following numerous requests made by public officials for aid and guidance in the road safety field, several research teams were formed. The aim of these teams is to undertake research in Jordan with a view to establishing the nature and extent of its traffic accident problems, and in the longer term to assess the effectiveness of remedial measures. Some of the major findings of these research teams are described. Special emphasis is given to the effect of road users and geometrics on road accidents. Road users were found to be responsible for about 95% of all accidents.
