Abstract
In Queensland in the year 2000, for example, the risk of dying (per capita) in a rural versus urban crash was 4.2 times higher, with resulting costs 2-3 times higher in rural areas compared to urban areas. In response, the Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety – Queensland (CARRS-Q) at Queensland University of Technology and James Cook University have designed a program of research to reduce the incidence and economic, medical and social costs of road crashes in Northern Queensland through the development and implementation of tailored road safety interventions.
