19 March - International Road Courtesy Week
For road safety, some specific aspects of courtesy, or its opposite, are perhaps more important than courtesy as a total concept.
By 1947 the Pedestrians' Association was suggesting that many of the safety features being introduced (speed limits, traffic calming, road signs and road markings, traffic lights, Belisha beacons, pedestrian crossings, cycle lanes, etc.) were potentially self-defeating because "every nonrestrictive safety measure, however admirable in itself, is treated by the drivers as an opportunity for more speeding, so that the net amount of danger is increased and the latter state is worse than the first."
By exercising road courtesy, we can avoid courting road rage. Road courtesy keeps death off the road.
