Abstract When we talk about “road safety” we already think of roads as existing primarily for transportation and cars in particular. Marco te Brömmelstroet argues that we need to break free of this framework in which safety is something to be accommodated amongst other priorities like efficiency, and start thinking in terms of “reducing road danger”, flipping the locus of responsibility from potential road accident victims to the conditions that create them in the first place.
