A feedback survey developed by a local business association about road safety changes around a primary school highlights the dangers of poor survey design - affecting both the quality of the research results and their potential input into decision-making.

Drawing from the varying successes and lessons of four innovative road safety projects, we developed a future-facing guide for people working in road safety innovation. Innovating Road Safety: Lessons for transport systems provides practical tools and processes; from key elements for successful partnerships in innovation projects, to how to foster a dynamic community of practice
