In the latest episode of CIHT’s podcast “Transport Talks” we explored the topic of road safety with Richard Allsop - CIHT Technical Champion and Emeritus Professor of Transport Studies at University College London.
In this podcast we explored the critical elements of road safety in the UK, delved into the ambitious Vision Zero initiative aiming for elimination of traffic fatalities, discussed dangers of drink driving, and unraveled the complexities of setting and adhering to speed limits.
Richard Allsop shares his insights based on 60 years of experience in the transport sector and walks us through key changes that happened in the past.
CIHT’s podcast series is now available on (and on other podcast platforms - just search your favorite podcast provider and we should be there):
