Policing Strategies on Road Safety Management in Metropolis: Singapore's Experi- ence in Road Safety Education Lee Chee Chiew Singapore Police Force, Singapore 698928, Singapore Abstract: This paper provides an outline of Singapore’s experience in promoting road safety, through the imple- mentation of various initiatives that aim to build and foster a culture of road safety and courtesy among road users. All these new initiatives collectively form the “Safer Roads Singapore” Action Plan, and the action plan rests on the principle that “Every life matters”, and one life lost is one too many. These initiatives are formulated based on the Traffic Police’s three-pronged approach towards road safety—namely, Enforcement, Engagement, and Educa- tion—which has enabled it to gradually reduce the number of road fatalities in Singapore over the last decade. Since the implementation of this Action Plan in 2013, TP has seen further improvement in road fatalities. TP will continue to pursue its strategy in a bid to keep road fatalities low and to ensure safer roads for all, amidst a challenging oper- ating environment.

The SRS Action Plan builds on the three key thrusts of TP’s strategy: Enforcement, Engagement, and Education. The vision of SRS is for a culture of safe and courteous road use to be ingrained in all road users in Sin- gapore, so that safe and courteous road use is instinctive and habitual. TP has continuously gone by the three-pronged approach for its efforts and multiple initiatives on road safety over the past few years. Aside from being seen as ‘enforcers’ of the roads, TP uses all three approaches in hopes to bring about a positive mind set, attitudinal and behavioral change among Figure 1 Traffic accident fatality rates per 100 000 human pop- road users where the road environment and culture is safe ulation from 2007 to 2016 for all.

At the beginning of the journey, I could not imagine when and how it would end. However, while I am writing the acknowledgments, I also realize how time flies for the past four years and a few months. It has been an enriching expe- rience both in terms of building research and analytical skills and in terms of the connections with amazing people, without whom the thesis could not be accomplished.
